Here I am with one more trouble..
(I'm still waiting proper reply from the hosting for the change of sshd port and the related consequences to the VPS console but let's remain on sftp topic..) I configured sshd to chroot ftp requests in this way: Match User myftpuser ChrootDirectory /home/of/the/hackers ForceCommand internal-sftp giving the proper permissions to the destination dir, etc. as from Peter doc too. Both by Filezilla and console sftp I get ugly errors: Filezilla: FATAL ERROR: Remote side unexpectedly closed network Could not connect to server sftp: client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe Connection closed NB: I do not want to exit from the match directive scope and find me in more troubles :-/ -- Daniele Bonini
