ssh home directory permission
Hi All,
I am using sftp to transfer files between two unix machines. As per my knowledge, in order to use public key authentication, the remote user's home directory permission should be set to 750 ( basically group and others should not have write permission ). Is there any way to over ride this I need some thing like 770 for the remote users home directory . Is it possible Please help me Shihab

I've just tested with Etch and sftp, a home directory can certainly have the group write bit set.
Are you refering to the $HOME/.ssh directory? This should normally be 0600 or 0700 for very good reasons.
