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
