Hey all, quick question:

I've added a new user using the 'adduser' command at the root level, but when i try to SSH in using that account i am not allowed access. I can access the account using standard FTP so i know the account is working and the password is correct.

I think there is an extra step to let a user access the server via SSH. Does anyone know what file I have to edit to add in the new users name to a grant list, etc?

Thanks!
 
Scratch this post, I found the answer. For anyone searching out this similar problem, just find the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and at the end of it add your username in as "AllowUsers username"
