@ray.padre

This is only config you did in sshd_config file ? Which seems incomplete

sftp

Also did you make any changes and tested it after clicking on Finish button ?

I made a mistake on chrootdirectory entry when I first tested. So I fixed it and tested again and got the result as in the screenshot which is successful before I clicked on finish confident that it would pass but didn’t. Anyway not to worry. I just thought I’d mention it. Cheers.
