While using internal sftp server, need to access files outside chroot

[Raghu Udupa]

Thanks all.

After a complete file is received, I will be moving file from say, inbox directory to received directory. Only files in received directory are going to be picked up and after successful copy, removed.

Regards,
Raghu

Angel,

I need to provide a set of users only SFTP access. But files these users put need to be copied to a generic queue directory.

Your first solution of having a custom script to copy the file to generic queue dir would work.

Can you think of a better way to move files given my requirements?

Thanks,
Raghu


If the propagation doesn't have to be instantaneous, "rsync" between the source and target locations run from a cron job should work quite well.
