Limiting SFTP Users While Not Limiting Regular Users?
Hi,
I have searched the web and have come back with nothing that is satisfactory for what I require. SFTP is my corporations new file transfer standard. What I require is a method to lock down SFTP users to their directory (they may go to sub directories) while not restricting regular users.
We setup a CHROOTed user in OpenSSH but it requires that the write option be disabled (for world and group) in all the parent directories of where we would like the SFTP user home directory to be. We tried to hard link the user directory to the location but it still requires write be disabled (for world and group) in the parent directories of the directory that is linked. An easy alternative would be to disable the CD command but once again I have not found a method to do so. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Thanks ahead of time!

net::sftp::foreign::compat
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm)
NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat - Adaptor for Net::SFTP compatibility
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($host);
$sftp->get("foo", "bar");
$sftp->put("bar", "baz");
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat ':supplant';
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host);
DESCRIPTION
This package is a wrapper around Net::SFTP::Foreign that provides an API (mostly) compatible with that of Net::SFTP.
Methods on this package are identical to those in Net::SFTP except that Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes::Compat objects have to be used
instead of Net::SFTP::Attributes.
If the ":supplant" tag is used, this module installs also wrappers on the "Net::SFTP" and Net::SFTP::Attributes packages so no other parts
of the program have to modified in order to move from Net::SFTP to Net::SFTP::Foreign.
Setting defaults
The hash %Net::SFTP::Foreign::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::SFTP::Foreign methods called under the hood and otherwise
not accesible through the Net::SFTP API.
The entries currently supported are:
new => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign constructor.
get => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::get method.
put => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::put method.
ls => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::ls method.
