Hello, I’m wondering if anyone knows how I can add a SFTP user to my droplet without affecting root sftp
Goal: Add user(s) to sftp with restricted dir Access (only /home/users files) Not affect root’s sftp access (Root can still connect with full system access)

Hi @DawsonSampson,
All you need to do is create a user, when creating the user add a hope directory and then change permissions of that directory to those of the users.
