Hi,
I have a DU 5.1B machine that runs an Apache web server, SSH2 and
WU-FTP (v.2.6.2). To enable some remote users to have access restricted
only to their web-site directories I have those users set up to
use WU-FTP guest users. This works nicely, and allows them to
upload pages from their PCs to the Unix web server.
But it would be useful if these users could also use SSH Secure Shell
(non-commercial version) to perform file management operations within
their directories on the Web server.
However, when remote users attempt this, SSH Secure Shell rejects them,
complaining that "Most likely the sftp-server is not in the path of the user
on the server side".
Problem is that setting these users up as WU-FTP Guest accounts means that
their shell is just a dummy file /etc/ftponly, so I cannot figure out how
I would alter their path.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.
