When working like you describe, you should copy your entire web document tree over to a new directory and give your developer access to that "development" instance.
Your "development instance" can be on the same server or another server.
Do not set things up where a web developer is working on your original files. Have them work and test based on a copy of your web filesystem and then when you are happy with it, deploy it.
This is roughly a very short description of how to do what you want to do and there are many different ways to do it.
In a nutshell,
Have the developer work on a copy, not the running code.
Test the planned upgrade and do not deploy until the code has been well tested.
Use a configuration management tool like git and github to manage version control do you can see what changes from version to version and restore any files which are buggy, etc.
Thank you so much for your suggestion. Indeed, letting the developer test in a copy instance first is a reasonable way. However, in the copy instance, I still have the same problem: How to restrict the new user to access only that three front-end related directory? And the three directories are not in the same directory. For now, I've solved the first problem (accessing existing directory with write permission) with following codes:
cd /home/www/application/index/view
chmod -R a+w *
But the second problem (how to bind above three directories to the new user?) is still there. I added following codes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
But only one folder (/home/www/application/index/view) is accessible. How to let the other two folders also accessible for the added new user?
I am a beginner to Linux, your help will be greatly appreciated.
I need to find all the files that have group Read or Write permission or files that have user write permission.
This is what I have so far:
find . -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '/-...rw..w./ {print $1 " " $3 " " $4 " " $9}'
It shows me all files where group read = true, group write = true... (5 Replies)

Hi,
Im trying to add some validation into my shell script code that basically checks whether a directory exists before SFTP'ing a file to it.

ssh_sftpd
ssh_sftpd(3erl) Erlang Module Definition ssh_sftpd(3erl)NAME
ssh_sftpd - Specifies a channel process to handle a sftp subsystem.
DESCRIPTION
Specifies a channel process to handle a sftp subsystem.
COMMON DATA TYPES
subsystem_spec() = {subsystem_name(), {channel_callback(), channel_init_args()}}
subsystem_name() = "sftp"
channel_callback() = atom() - Name of the erlang module implementing the subsystem using the ssh_channel behavior see ssh_channel(3erl)
channel_init_args() = list() - The one given as argument to function subsystem_spec/1.
EXPORTS
subsystem_spec(Options) -> subsystem_spec()
Types Options = [{Option, Value}]
Should be used together with ssh:daemon/[1,2,3]
Options are:
{cwd, String} :
Sets the initial current working directory for the server.
{file_handler, CallbackModule} :
Determines which module to call for communicating with the file server. Default value is ssh_sftpd_file that uses the file and
filelib API:s to access the standard OTP file server. This option may be used to plug in the use of other file servers.
{max_files, Integer} :
The default value is 0 , which means that there is no upper limit. If supplied, the number of filenames returned to the sftp
client per READDIR request, is limited to at most the given value.
{root, String} :
Sets the sftp root directory. The user will then not be able to see any files above this root. If for instance the root is set
to /tmp the user will see this directory as / and if the user does cd /etc the user will end up in /tmp/etc .
