Re: michael's openssh for windows


This thread lead me to many turns in the road to what I found to be a solution for me:
someone suggested adding /usr/sbin/sftp-server to the passwd file instead of the original /bin/switch or /bin/sh.


however, scp doesn't work along with ssh, but I was trying to get sftp working, so I see no loss.

I have yet to figure out a way to jail the user though. They can still cd into /cygdrive/c and also cd .. and see the passwd file.

If anyone has suggestions on this please comment.

Thanks,
Johnny
