Enable sftp access without ssh access
Authored by: hamarkus on May 26, '03 04:52:50PM

For me applying this command to a newly created user makes it also impossible for this user to use sftp (as well as ftp and ssh). Has something changed with 10.2 (or 10.2.6) to make this tip fail?

Adding to shells doesn't help either

Even adding /usr/libexec/sftp-server to /etc/shells does not get it working. Whenever I try to connect via sftp with a user whose default shell has been set to be /usr/libexec/sftp-server (as visible via Netinfo) my password is rejected (Permission denied, please try again.).

Could one place a link/symlink/alias in /bin pointing to /usr/libexec/sftp-server to get work?
