Hi there,

Is there a possibility to create a ftp account for the administrator user?
I want that account to have acces to /home/

Regards,
Marcello
 
Hello,

Connect via sFTP to SSH port (by default it is 22) as root. For example FileZilla supports sFTP.
 
Thanks!
That works.

I have created a new user ... root login is not allowed ;-) ..
But how can i list the /home dir? Currently this user has no rights.
 
root login is not allowed ;-)
Did you use sFTP via the SSH port as Alex suggested? Because root login is allowed in that case, at least with pure-ftpd on the server.
I'm not sure if that's also the case with pro-ftpd.
 
Only superuser root can list content of /home/. Other variants are potentially dangerous. So you might need to allow root to connect to SSH. For security reasons you can limit IPs:

Code:
AllowUsers [email protected]

in sshd config, where root is allowed to connect only from 1.2.3.4
