How to create a user in Debian with SSH access to only one folder?

Question

SSH

Hello!

How to create a user on Debian OS with access to a folder like /var/www/vhosts/domain.ru/httpdocs/folder. And there he could enter commands through Putty like rm -r, unzip, etc. I tried to make access through useradd -m -d /var/www/vhosts/domain.ru/httpdocs/folder test01, but as a result, when authorizing through Putty, the user gets into the root directory of the server.

Answer 1

It is better to provide access via SFTP (client can use WinSCP).

sudo useradd -m -d /var/www/vhosts/domain.ru/httpdocs/folder -s /bin/false -c "SFTP ACCESS"  -g www-data  user-name
sudo usermod -a -G www-data user-name
sudo passwd user-name

add to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Match User user-name
ChrootDirectory %h
ForceCommand internal-sftp
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no
