Setting up chroot enviroment with scponlyc.

JustinCH

New Pleskian
Hello,


I'm trying to give my clients a chroot scponly shell for sftp access, the only way I found to do this in plesk currently isn't very clean and was wondering if there was a better way.

The way I'm currently doing it.

1) Adding scponlyc to /etc/shells.
2) Setting the user's shell to "/bin/bash (chroot)"
3) from the cli either editing the /etc/passwd file to /usr/sbin/scponlyc from /usr/local/psa/bin/chrootsh or running a usermod command to change the shell.

What I basically need to know is if there is a way to create the chroot directories for the users without setting the shell to "/bin/bash (chroot)" first.

OS and plesk versions:

OS: Centos 6
Plesk: 10.3


Thank you for your time.
