Q. How do I keep sftp users in their home directory?
A. Use rssh.
- Install the package the usual way: "yum -y install rssh"
- You'll also want to download (but not install) the source
in /usr/local/src/rssh-VERSION
- Make a jail directory: mkdir /usr/local/jail
- Modify the user to use rssh and the jail directory.
So an example /etc/passwd entry would be:
sftpguy:x:818:821::/usr/local/jail/home/sftpguy:/usr/bin/rssh
- Modify /etc/rssh.conf (the configuration file)
- Uncomment this line:
allowsftp
- Set the following:
chrootpath = /usr/local/jail
- Make the jail.
sh /usr/local/src/rssh-VERSION/mkchroot.sh /usr/local/jail
- Make the user's home directories:
mkdir /usr/local/jail/home
mkdir /usr/local/jail/home/sftpguy
chown -R sftpguy.sftpguy /usr/local/home/sftpguy
- That's it
