Linux system administrators frequently wish to give users the ability to upload files to remote servers. The most common way of doing so in a secure manner is to permit file transfers via SFTP, which uses SSH to provide encryption. By default, users are able to view the contents of the entire remote filesystem, which may not be desirable. This guide will help you configure OpenSSH to restrict users to their home directories. Please note that these instructions are not intended to support shell logins; any user accounts modified in accordance with this guide will have the ability to transfer files, but not the ability to log into a remote shell session.
