Set up secure ftp access between Linux and HP/UX

[Joy Holland]

I need to set up a secure ftp access from a Linux box to a HP/UX box. Can be either sftp or ssh to allow access to only one folder on the server for transferring files. How do I do this?

[IT_2007]

yes. you can use sftp to transfer files between Linux and HP. You need to configure sftp on both systems.

Do you want to setup one way or both ways transfer from one folder?

We need to have the ability to ftp files in and out of the server thru the sftp

[IT_2007]

You need to install ssh on Servers. See the ssh info from the link.

sftp is part of ssh subsystem. you can see /etc/ssh/ssh_config file.

Hi,

You will need to "chroot" sftp, so that the access is restricted to one directory.
