Setting SFTP access to only home directory without using ZFS

[Northwinds]

Hi all

I'm basically trying to do what this article describes:
http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/SSH#Chrooting_SFTP_users
but as I am only using UFS I cannot follow point 1 of
"Chrooting Command Line SFTP Users"

as I cannot
"1. Create a ZFS dataset for each user requiring sftp access in Storage → Volumes."

Any ideas please?

I'm not sure if this can be easily done in UFS. You could try the instructions using a subdirectory for each user (instead of a dataset) and report back if that worked.

Thanks for the reply!
I did try what you suggested using steps 5 and 6 of the guide but unfortunately it didn't work :-(

Define "didn't work". Are users seeing outside of their own subdirectory? If so, what are the permissions on the parent subdirectory?

followed the instructions but sftp access won't work at all
