sftp chroot and ForceCommand to internal-sftp leads to an error on sftp-server: No such file or directory
Issue
With the below configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
...
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
...
Match User test
ChrootDirectory /chroot
ForceCommand internal-sftp
the server exits with
sshd[31754]: error: subsystem: cannot stat /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server: No such file or directory
subsystem request for sftp failed, subsystem not found
because the sftp-server file is not available in the chroot environment.
- On the client side, we have this message:
sftp test@localhost
Connecting to localhost...
test@localhost's password:
subsystem request failed on channel 0
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
