Hi, I'm puzzled by the procedure of creating an additional user that I want to have ftp access only to some specific directory. When I create a 'no shell (sftp only)' user in the control panel, I seem to be unable to ftp into my myusername.webfactional.com using the new username and its password. I also cannot ssh with that combo (as is to be expected). When I create a user with the /bin/bash shell type I am able to use both ftp and ssh. Now, following the instructions described in enabling ftp-access for additional users I ssh into the new user's account <mynewuser> and execute
and I get what I expect. asked 27 Nov '10, 10:13 rogererens |
I've tested this on the same server your account is on and I have the same problem. When creating an account without shell access, it only grants access via SFTP. I am able to connect via SFTP after creating another user on your account.
Edit the user in the control panel. Make sure /bin/bash is selected and click Update. That should re-enable shell access. answered 27 Nov '10, 10:40 aaronh ♦♦ |
