The tutorial below describes how to get SFTP running without shell access on Ubuntu 20.04

We will do the whole thing by issuing a few commands in the console.

First, we add a user:

sudo adduser files

We create a directory for storing files and give permissions:

sudo mkdir -p /var/sftp/uploads

 sudo chown root:root /var/sftp

sudo chmod 755 /var / sftp

We give the user access to the files and directory with files:

sudo chown files:/ var / sftp / uploads

We edit the ssh configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

And we add at the end:

Match User pliki
ForceCommand internal-sftp
PasswordAuthentication yes
ChrootDirectory /var/sftp
PermitTunnel no
AllowAgentForwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
X11Forwarding no

Save the file and restart sshd

systemctl restart sshd

Everything should work, that's all 🙂
