I would like to setup a 'secure ftp' server for my workplace.
In the past, we set-up a traditional ftp-server using Redhat 7.2
and wu-ftpd. I configured wu-ftpd to 'confine' each user's
root-directory to his homedirectory (there's a name for this,
I forgot what it's called.) This worked great.
Now, I'd like to setup a 'secure' FTP-server. I did a little
reading, and found out that most ssh-clients include a nice
GUI/front-end that looks like 'ftp'...For example, linux
includes the gftp program (ssh-capable), and putty for
Windows has a command-line sftp program.
Unfortunately, in every sftp client I've tried (windows, linux),
the user has full directory access to the entire disk directory structure.
When the sftp-user enters our ftp-server, I want that
user's '/' directory to be his home-directory. In other words,
he should not be allowed to see other user's directory,
or the /etc, /bin/, and other dirs.
I assume this is a server-side configuration issue. I've
checked the man-page on sshd_config, but I
didn't see anything to accomplish this. (If I missed
something, point it out! I'm a novice...)
....
In ssh-server, Is it possible to somehow confine the user
ssh-logins to their home-dirs? I'm using the openssh that
comes with Redhat 9...(the new ftp-server is going to be
upgraded from redhat 7.2 -> 9)
....
Is it just me, or does (Redhat 9's) gftp abort when I
ssh to a system that has /etc/motd. (My machine has a
motd that's 15-20 lines of text.)
sftp for Windows (included with 'putty') can successfully
login and up/download files on the same server!
