Hi All,
Im trying to setup a new user on a RHEL 6 box for purely sftp access.
At the moment I have full access via the root account and can sftp with applciations like winscp fine.
these are the steps I followed to create a new user for sftp on hostname:linuxserver1
1) groupadd sftpusers
2) added the following to /etc/sshd_config
#Match Group sftpusergroup
#ChrootDirectory %h
#ForceCommand internal-sftp
3) Restarted sshd - /etc/init.d/sshd restart
4) useradd -s /bin/false -G sftpusers testaccount1
5)passwd testaccount1 (Set password)
6)chown root ~testaccount1
7)chmod 750 ~testaccount1
When I try and SFTP to this box from another Linux server
with
testaccount1@linuxserver1
it then asks for password
I enter the password
and then it says connection closed straight away
also when I try with WINSCP with the credentials it comes up with
Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
Any ideas?
Am I missing some commands?
any help will be appreciated
