Incorrect rights for certain groups
by SleeperSimulant from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MKB7)
Hello everyone!
I have a Debian 12 system which uses SSH. sshd_config has been customized as follows:
Match Group sftpusers
ChrootDirectory /sftp
ForceCommand internal-sftp
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no
PasswordAuthentication yes
This server is to be used as an SFTP server. For this purpose, a script has been written which creates users and places them in the isftpusersi group. Furthermore, new folders can be created, which are created in /sftp and get the permission root:sftpusers.
The following problem. When I create a session with WinSCP, I can successfully connect to it and see all subfolders of /sftp. But as soon as I want to copy, I have a permission denied.
Then I checked what the permissions look like:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sftpusers 4096 May 6 10:21 testfolder
So the group has no write permission.
If I give /sftp this permission:
sudo chmod -R g+rw /sftp
I can log in with WinSCP but no longer with the users. I change the setting to :
sudo chmod -R g-w /sftp
I can log in again but can no longer copy.
I'm slowly running out of ideas and would be very happy to receive ideas/help.
Thank you very much!
