Code:

SFTP user creation step…
  
  Create a group
  # groupadd  sftp_users
  
  If the users doesn’t exist on system , use below command :
# useradd  -G sftp_users  -s /sbin/nologin  username
# passwd username


  For already existing users , use below usermod command :
# usermod –G sftp_users  -s /sbin/nologin  username

  # vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

#comment out the below line and add a line like below
#Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

  # add Below lines  at the end of file
Match Group sftp_users
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ChrootDirectory %h
ForceCommand internal-sftp
  
  
  Restart the ssh service
# service sshd restart

For Solaris 10

Code:

In your sshd_config file- make below changes
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  
Match User user 
ChrootDirectory /home/user 
ForceCommand internal-sftp 
AllowTcpForwarding no 
  Esc :wq

Then run:- 
chsh -s /bin/false user 
chown root:root /home/user 
mkdir /home/user/uploads 
chown user /home/user/uploads   

Restart ssh

svcadm disable /network/ssh:default
svcadm enable /network/ssh:default

The user will only be able to write in /home/user/uploads.

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
