Question

Hi I have ssh connection to my server wit root account. I want to create user named pizza4yu and give access with winscp to only this location /home/pi/apache-tomcat-7.0.35 How can I do that ?

Answer 1

Set the users home folder to that path so.

Usermod -d /home/pi/apache-tomcat pizza4yu

All in lowercase Then chown -R pizza4yu /new/path or add the new user to existing group of that folder

Answer 2

chsh -s /bin/bash pizza4yu
usermod -d /home/pi/apache-tomcat pizza4yu
chown -R pizza4yu:pizza4yu /home/pi/apache-tomcat

You can also use chroot: http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/
