volume permission

[tolva]

hi as you can tell by my post count i’m new here and i’m also new to leopard server.

i’m trying to set up a sftp server and i have most of it running but i’m having issues with permissions.

i have two internal drives one being for os x server and the other to hold all the files.

when i sign on with one of my users via transmit i can see both my os x drive and my files drive.

i tried setting the os x drive permissions to type>deny permissions>full control but when i do that the user cannot log in at all even though the user is allowed access to the files drive.

how can i deny access to system files but allow access to the files drive?

thanks for any help you can give me,

Hello,

The goal is to provide a “SFTP Jail” or “chroot.”

I believe this article may help you:

Restricted SFTP in Mac OS X Leopard

I suggest testing in a non-production environment before deploying this to your live system. You could also test using OS X Server in VMware. It’s nice to have snapshots so you don’t have to re-install after “breaking” the system. 🙂

I hope this helps.
