I have created a user, edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file with the user ChrootDirectory. Ssh restarts no problem. Filezilla connects but then the system immediately disconnects. I want this user to access multiple websites so I made a folder in /var/www and set the user as the owner of that folder - which seems like a bad idea (following and AI suggestion). But it won’t stay connected. What am I missing?
