Turnkey Filserver Chroot SSH for SFTP transfer
Hi.
I'm new on this forum and turnkey fileserver.
After several days testing Turnkey fileserver, i've a few questions:
- Any post or link for chroot user (I've only use turnkey fileserver how SFTP and rsync services for backup for my customers)
- vsftp don't accept connections. It's not important, because i don't like use FTP (only SFTP) but i don't get the problem.
Help apreciate

I'm not quite sure what you're asking
Reply 1User can scale to up directories
Reply 2Yes, but user can scale to up directories.
cd ../../
ls ../../
We like chroot user for see only him directory.
Ok I understand
Reply 3In the current configuration users should not be able to do anything but list the files (unless you give them permission). Also AFAIK unless they are members of the "sudousers" group users shouldn't be able to do anything harmful to the system (and by default TKL does not have sudo installed so even then...).
However I understand that you want more than that. It should be possible but I'm not sure how so I'm not going to be much help to you. Hopefully one of the Devs (Alon or Liraz) or someone else with a little more knowledge than myself will be able to help you out.
A lot of thanks

I also came across MySecureShell. I can't vouch for it but its an interesting looking all-in-one type app (that apparently does SFTP into a chroot). Might be worth a look?
Two ways for chroot SFTp
Reply 6A lot of thanks.
Just read this afternoon this ways.
But TKL appliances have SFTP (port 22) setup by default. Any new users that are added are SFTP/SSH users also by default and AFAIK will connect to their designated home directory.
