sftp problem

[chuanpeng.wang]

Two question about sftp:
1 How to do that only the IP which configured in server can access the sftp?

2 How to make the user can only access the special directory?

Thanks.

Hi,
please have a look at:

Hi peter

I can't open the page.

I have opened it, but it can't resolve all my question.

How about the directory?
And whether the sftp is the same with ssh?

Hi,
do you mean the login directory (which is set in /etc/passwd)? Or do you want to lock the user to a directory (chroot) ?

If you install ssh you also get sftp,sftp uses the ssh port as well.

OK, fixed.

in ssh_config
HostbasedAuthentication no

DenyHosts "16.157.46.168"

It worked.
But after I try several times, it doesn't work.

I don't know why?
