SFTP: bad ownership for chroot directory

1

Hi there¡¡

New to this forum, so first of all hi to everyone and thanks for this great project.
Using Hestia 1.4.7 with Ubuntu 20.04
I’m having a problem accessing with an FTP client through SFTP.
I’ve been reading another topics, and it seems when you create a new user, by default it’s “nologin” and it has access through SFTP to its local folder.
But when I try to access, I get no access and I get this in /var/log/auth.log

sshd[107616]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user user1_ftp by (uid=0)
systemd-logind[558]: New session 109 of user user1.
systemd: pam_unix(systemd-user:session): session opened for user user1 by (uid=0)
sshd[107705]: fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/home/user1/web/"
sshd[107616]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user user1_ftp
systemd-logind[558]: Session 109 logged out. Waiting for processes to exit.
semicom systemd-logind[558]: Removed session 109.

I’ve been searching the forum with some similar cases, but I haven’t found the solution.

Thanks in advance

So… no one with the same problem?

Try using v-rebuild-user it should reset the permissions

FTP access via user is currently not availble use sftp instead

Hi eris:

Thanks for the answer.
Now I realise the problem. I was trying to log with the FTP user created for the site, not with the “main” user.
