FTP / SFTP confusion
Good morning all,
I require some help regarding an FTP server i am building.
Basically i have around 20 users all sending a receiving files to and from my FTP server but would like all traffic to be secure. I want to ensure users connect via SFTP only and are denied via FTP.
Im using Ubuntu Linux and have setup Webmin so i can admin the server with ease.
Im not too bad on the command line i just lack understanding.
All users are chrooted to there home directory and have the scponly shell.
Thanks alot.

NAME
CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - get entry path in FTP server
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, char **path);

The path pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the
corresponding CURL handle.

EXAMPLE
