I am running Server 10.3.5. I am connecting using SFTP. All users have access to the root level. I put * in my ftpchroot. Restarted service. All users can still see root level. Any suggestions

How do you disable sftp in server 10.3.5

As with the thread about .Mac, this is a question best answered in the Apple Discussion Forums

sftp has nothing to do with the ftp service on OS X Server. It is part of ssh, and access can be controlled through /etc/sshd_config.

Of course, i can't imagine what you have at the root or your filesystem that you can't let users see.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. There are plenty of qualified people here. This really ticked me off, and I'm taking it as a personal insult.

As said before, sftp has nothing to do with ftp. It's a subsystem of SSH. If users can SSH in to your machine, they'll be able to see the root of your drive *anyway*. What difference does it make if they can see it with sftp? If this is a concern, you should be storing files somewhere else. The alternative is that you shouldn't be letting these people access your machine.

Bottom line of the sshd_config file has a command that runs the SFTP. Comment out that command and it turns it off. Restarted file sharing, and it worked just fine. As for my original problem regarding root level folders. This was fixed with permissions and assigning groups to my users.
