Jan 21, 2022 at 16:29 comment added George Cimpoies If I want my client to be able to upload files to my sftp, shouldn't the permissions on the folder be 775 instead of 755? chown root:sftpusers /var/sftp chmod 775 /var/sftp this way the sftpusers group has write access as well, while with 755 they would have read and execute. Is there a security concern for having execute rights over the folder? Considering that ssh access is disabled and sftp access is enabled? Thanks!

Jun 6, 2019 at 13:29 comment added user1737079 it worked for me as a charm. Big thanks. Any idea as how to restrict number of connections in the SFTP server configured?
Mar 28, 2019 at 15:33 comment added Martin Prikryl Good. Though are you sure, you need to install openssh-server? Every Linux comes with OpenSSH, doesn't it?

Mar 28, 2019 at 15:32 comment added smallwat3r Thanks for spotting this @MartinPrikryl. I've mingled with OpenSSH, I edited my post.
Mar 28, 2019 at 15:19 comment added Martin Prikryl What does vsftpd have to do with SFTP? vsftd is FTP server! sshd_config is a configuration file for OpenSSH sshd, not vsftpd. You mix two completely unrelated pieces of software.
