Activating Linux SFTP

We can use eSFTP together with OpenSSh to connect to a Linux server remotely via SFTP, to access files externally after you downloaded them after making a backup, or after opening corrupted disks with live ISO.

For OpenSSH settings:

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Port 22
PermitRootLogin Yes
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match User root
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp -d /mnt

NOTE: You can redirect directly to the folder after login with -d /mnt.

For Remote Connection Permission:

nano /etc/hosts.allow

sshd : ALL
ALL : ALL

Finally, we restart.

systemctl restart sshd
