MySecureShell forum → Configuration → sftp_config missing after Ubuntu install
I installed MySecureShell using the Ubuntu package and it installed and started the service correctly, but when I went to configure it, the sftp_config file described in the documentation was missing. I couldn't find it in the path listed or anywhere else on my server. What's going on?
Hi,
Which version of Ubuntu is on your computer ? 9.04 ? 32bit or 64bit ?
Last version of MySecureShell 1.15 ?
Thanks
9.0.4 32bit
Okay the package seems broken...
Under "root", create the file /etc/ssh/sftp_config and put your config in 
I did that, using a sample available online. Here's what my file contains:
## MySecureShell Configuration File ##
#Default rules for everybody
<Default>
GlobalDownload 0 #total speed download for all clients
# o -> bytes k -> kilo bytes m -> mega bytes
GlobalUpload 0 #total speed download for all clients (0 for unlimited)
Download 0 #limit speed download for each connection
Upload 0 #unlimit speed upload for each connection
StayAtHome true #limit client to his home
VirtualChroot true #fake a chroot to the home account
LimitConnection 20 #max connection for the server sftp
LimitConnectionByUser 5 #max connection for the account
LimitConnectionByIP 5 #max connection by ip for the account
Home /www/$USER.com/ #overrite home of the user but if you want you can use
# environment variable (ie: Home /home/$USER)
IdleTimeOut 300 #(in second) deconnect client is idle too long time
ResolveIP true #resolve ip to dns
# IgnoreHidden true #treat all hidden files as if they don't exist
# DirFakeUser true #Hide real file/directory owner (just change displayed permissions)
# DirFakeGroup true #Hide real file/directory group (just change displayed permissions)
# DirFakeMode 0400 #Hide real file/directory rights (just change displayed permissions)
#Add execution right for directory if read right is set
# HideFiles "^(lost\+found|public_html)$" #Hide file/directory which match
#this extented POSIX regex
HideNoAccess true #Hide file/directory which user has no access
# MaxOpenFilesForUser 20 #limit user to open x files on same time
# MaxWriteFilesForUser 10 #limit user to x upload on same time
# MaxReadFilesForUser 10 #limit user to x download on same time
DefaultRights 0664 0775 #Set default rights for new file and new directory
# PathDenyFilter "^\." #deny upload of directory/file which match this extented POSIX regex
ShowLinksAsLinks false #show links as their destinations
# ConnectionMaxLife 1d #limits connection lifetime to 1 day
Charset "ISO-8859-15" #set charset of computer
# GMTTime +1 #set GMT Time (change if necessary)
</Default>Your config is valid.
Just check tag "Charset" because "ISO-8859-15" is used for french
Thanks. BTW, it'd sure be nice if they published some docs in English rather than just relying on Google Translate (which FUBARs many of the commands).
Yes but we need some help to translate from french to english....
The Google translation is generally good, just copy it and then go back and fix the commands.
At any rate, that's outside the scope of this thread. So if my configuration is correct, why is my client getting disconnected every time I try to download anything? Are there logs somewhere I should be looking for?
Just look at "/var/log/sftp-server.log"...
Some SFTP client (like FileZilla) needs 2 connections (1 for browsing and 1 for file transfer).
OK, thanks. Posted a new thread in the relevant forum here:
Ok.
