Help

Enable Services

• To use SSH, SSH access must be enabled with the /server-manager > Remote Access panel.

Users can then use a ssh client such as putty or a sftp client sush as winscp or filezilla

• To use FTP, FTP access must be enabled with the /server-manager > Remote Access panel.

When users FTP into the sme server they are allowed to view ibays, primary and some system information. By chrooting the user you restrict the user to below that directory. This isn't a security problem, files are protected with normal permissions, chrooting saves users time traversing to their regular uploading area.

Global Settings

You can globally set FTP chroot with the following

You can chroot all users to their home directory with the command.

config setprop ftp ChrootDir home

config setprop ftp ChrootDir /opt

to return to default settings of /home/e-smith/files/
