Chroot & Sftp

[panchpan]

Hello.
1) Can below command be used IF I run shell script in background for connecting non-ssh server from a ssh server:
sftp -oIdentityFile= -b <.ftp filename> login@ServerIP

I suppose, No because target server is non-ssh and so it will not have any public/private keys in it. What could be other easy solution? Only /opt/ssh/bin/ftp is allowed on source server to use for connectivity.

2) I have three databases in 3 directories and have 3 logins on one ssh-server. Is it good to have these accounts chroot type so that one does not cd to other. Or any other option to do so?

Many thanks!

1)install sshd on the destination server.

2)setting up group ownership and permissions correctly might be enough to meet your needs.
