SFTP access without shell access

[thewolf]

Hi,

We're running Plesk 8.1.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

Is there any way to grant SFTP access for a domain without shell access using the default Plesk installation?

Thanks.

I believe you can add /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server to /etc/shells and the set that as the shell for the user for SFTP only access.

You can also install scponly (Dag/RPMForge has rpms), make sure /usr/bin/scponly is in /etc/shells and set the shell for the domain to /usr/bin/scponly for SCP only access.

If you do so, will the new shells automatically appear in the Plesk shells dropdown?

Thanks.

Yes.
