Ok. I have followed the setup instructions as such. Create a chroot env, such as /home/ftp/ and then create a user with a home directory of /home/ftp/user and edit the /etc/passwd file as such: test:x:501:501::/home/ftp/./home/ftp/test:/bin/sh This fixed my original problem. However, the users can still cd back one directory to /home/ftp. I want them locked directly into their home directory. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Phillips Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:43 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: sftp server google is your friend. http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&q=sftp+%22Couldn%27t+read+packet%3A%22+ chroot You didn't follow the setup instructions. -- Steve.
