Chroot Sftp

Sun, May 3, 2009

Open up /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add the following to the end of it

Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match group chrooted
ChrootDirectory /home/%u
X11Forwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp

Restart SSHD
```
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
```
Then make users chrooted by adding them to the chrooted group
```
adduser user chrooted
```
Now when the user sftps the server they will only see the contents of there home folder

chroot, ftp, openssh, security, ssh, sshd, vsftpd
