Some time ago I set up an SFTP server which worked happily. I have a configuration like this in my ssh_config
# override default of no subsystems
#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
# Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis
#Match User anoncvs
# X11Forwarding no
# AllowTcpForwarding no
# PermitTTY no
# ForceCommand cvs server
Match User miscout
# Force the connection to use SFTP and chroot to the required directory.
ForceCommand internal-sftp
ChrootDirectory %h
# Disable tunneling, authentication agent, TCP and X11 forwarding.
PermitTunnel no
AllowAgentForwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no
Match Group sftp_users
ChrootDirectory /mnt/reos-storage-1/sftp_data/%u
ForceCommand internal-sftp
# Disable tunneling, authentication agent, TCP and X11 forwarding.
PermitTunnel no
AllowAgentForwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no
There is a user group sftp_users
and a user named sftpuser1
Today, for some fun, I decided to accidentally delete the directory /mnt/reos-storage-1/sftp_data
. I subsequently recreated the directory, and sub-directories, but now I cannot connect to the sftp server. I get an error like this:
$ sftp sftpuser1@<redacted>
sftpuser1@<redacted>'s password:
packet_write_wait: Connection to 192.41.113.249 port 22: Broken pipe
Connection closed
I can ssh into the machine as other users.
My guess is that I have the wrong permissions on this directory somehow, because it is the only thing I have changed. Currently permissions and ownership look like this:
[root] /mnt/reos-storage-1 $ ls -l sftp_data/
total 4
drwxrwx--x 3 root root 4096 Jun 23 13:22 sftpuser1
[root] /mnt/reos-storage-1 $ ls -l sftp_data/sftpuser1/
total 4
drwxrwx--x 3 sftpuser1 sftp_users 4096 Jun 23 13:23 upload
[root] /mnt/reos-storage-1 $ ls -l sftp_data/sftpuser1/upload/
total 864
drwxrwx--x 2 sftpuser1 sftp_users 884736 Jun 23 16:06 MiScout
Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?
