hi @swaroopcs88
i have got this connection closed is the result is correct?
i was supposed to do sftp right
First of all you cannot connect this server with Filezilla. It’s a private server.
Do sudo journalctl -xe and share that error output.
You get this because the home directory for the user or the ChrootDirectory or chain of folders leading down to it must be owned by root.
Permissions requirements:
Note that the owner of the destination directory must be “root”, and group/other users cannot have write permissions. The same with all the directory path:
Code:
chown root /path/to/destination
chown root /path/to
chown root /path
chmod g-w,o-w /path/to/destination
chmod g-w,o-w /path/to
chmod g-w,o-w /path

The description and validation on this task seem incorrect/incomplete.
Setting root:root ownership and 755 permissions on /var/www/<folder> does not allow sftp uploading, which seems like a reasonable use case. The question does not define whether uploading and or downloading is a requirement. I attempted this task 3 times and only passed when I used the strict download-only permissions.
I would recommend stating that /var/www/<folder> should not allow uploads but that /var/www/<folder>/uploads should allow uploads for the one user.
Honestly it would also be better to set this up requiring the use of groups (instead of just one user), which is a very common use case, and is cleaner in /etc/ssh/sshd_config since you don’t have to define every single sftp user.
