Set and restrict home directory win32-openssh on windows for sftp












2















Installed Win32-OpenSSH on Windows 2008R2 server.
Using local users to login etc.
Two questions:
How do I set the home directory for




  1. How do I set the home directory for users? It is currently set to c:users and it is then also filled with all the clart that Windows creates for each user
    and

  2. How do I restrict the user to only be in that folder so that they can't browse around the whole server uploading and viewing at will


All the guides that I can find talk about the etc/ folder and passwords files etc. But they are not there on win32-openssh.



Thanks guys.

          I think the win32-openssh build still does not have chroot support, and you would need to do a full cygwin install, then install the cygwin ssh server. Here is a great video that outlines that process-
