SFTP - The so easy way

[U-PID]

I haven't tried this on the drive. But it should be possible and easy to add users with the command useradd.

Then, you can connect to the user account the same way you used to connect as root.

Wow !

It works just fine !

 sftp -P PORT username@MyBookLiveIP

^ Was able to connect from outside my network from other linux box.

Great !

so, just for others to know : how did you manage it ?

did you use "useradd" or did you proceed through an other way ?

I ask the question, because users that you create through the web interface are automatically added as unix users, so you wouldn't have to do anything but the ssh user@your_drive_IP to connect as user.

@U-PID: actually i don't remeber how I created shell user (with useradd or with web interface).

It was while ago.

sftp was probably working all the way , I just totally forgot to use custom port for sftp connection (changed default ssh port on mybook live).

Ok.

Thanks anyway.

I did bet that it was already working by default, however we will never know. I also changed the port and something similar happened to me.
