If you do not want to use user home directory eg. /home/exampleuser then ssh cofiguration should be like this Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match group sftpusers

ChrootDirectory %h

ForceCommand internal-sftp

Restart ssh service then it will work for you.

Hello guys,

In the article shows that when typing the command ls -al would show something like this:

root:root /home/ root:root /home/exampleuser/ root:root /home/exampleuser/htdocs/

exampleuser:sftpusers /home/exampleuser/htdocs/public_html

But typing the command shows me this result: https://screenshot.net/pt/1yxyxhx

using the cd command and then the ls -al command: https://screenshot.net/pt/rlnlnf6

As for permission, I used the command:

chown -R exampleuser examplegroup /var/www/my-site.com/wp-content

but the /wp-content folder is already existing and already has the permission www-data:www-data. So I can change it to exampleuser:sftpusers, no problem?

Anyway, I am not able to access SFTP with this new user when placed in the group, ie I have an existing user and he accesses normally, but accesses all folders of the server. Then I create the group, put the user in the group with the command below, and do the rest of the steps shown in the article, but after that the user no longer enters:

usermod -g newgroup -d /var/www/my-site.com/wp-content -s /sbin/nologin existinguser

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

how can i restrict user to his home directory only, who is logging through key in filezilla? Please let me know the way
