> If you use sftp, it can be chroot'ed by default (see man-page). > (In reasonably recent version of sshd) I gather thats a sshd somewhat newer than the one included in CentOS 5 ? the only mention of chroot in man sshd is the /var/empty/sshd dir used during preauthorization. I'd be very cautious on setting this up, or you could easily lose access to ssh shell sessions since ssh/scp/sftp are all so tightly coupled. _______________________________________________ Thank you for your post, I have sure not been able to find the appropriate references in the man pages. I am running Centos 5.5 I did try putting a copy of /etc/ssh/ssh_config as /home/user/.ssh/config with the addition of : Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match User ftp ForceCommand internal-sftp ChrootDirectory /home/user But this did not work Any suggestions ???
