Make Jailshell supports SFTP

[Doctor]

Right now, only accounts with Full-Shell access have the capability of using SFTP to login.

Does anyone know how to allow a Jailshell-enabled account to support Secure FTP (SFTP) login?

Amen. I've requested this be corrected months ago. Still nothing.

I'd like to add an amen too. My webhost just jailshelled all his accounts, and now there is no secure way for me to move my files on and off the server. I've googled around and it can be done.

While sftp does not work properly, you should still be able to scp files from your local machine.

From another unix machine the command would be:

To copy one file into your home directory:
scp file domain.com:~/

To copy an entire directory into your home directory:
scp -r directory domain.com:~/

scp -r directory domain.com:~/

That's a great tip, JCN. But many others like my clients use Windows-based workstations locally. I wonder when Nick is going to incorporate SFTP to JailShell.

Yeah, it's a total buzzkill.

The only other (imperfect) followup I can offer is that there are Windows-based scp programs.

http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/

The putty scp.exe is decent, but you have to use a command line. I've never used winscp before but it might be worth looking at.

Thanks for the tips. I will try WinSCP.

I would still like to ask the developers of Cpanl to include sftp access in their version of jailshell.

Thanks,
Tim

I would also like to see SFTP supported in Jailshell. I'll do the feature request form also.
