Hi!

I want to restrict the access of my client when is connected with ssh. I don't want to can use cd, dir, ls -al, ls etc etc.
What chmod is necessary to do for /home and /home/user becouse a user I don't want to see the content of /home/ or other directory.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

Best way is to put your customers in a group and add permissions to allow only other group to use those commands you listed above.

Other way is learn about chroot or jail (freebsd).

'info chroot' at your linux command prompt will give you some information - for more I reccomend checking out http://www.tldp.org/ and searching for 'chroot'.

Depending on your use of OS, Linux or Freebsd..etc, you can consult to their documentions.

Since I am a FreeBSD user, you can learn about chown, chmod, chroot, and jail with the man pages.

An example to read the man pages of chown, you would type in

Quote:

man chown

It would work for the rest of the commands in FreeBSD. If you don't have manpages installed on your box...you can go to FreeBSD Manpages link.

Good luck,

Yup.

This guys are dammed right.
You can add users like customer:customer and spend a lot of time changing permissions. You can read plenty of f**ng manuals learning chroot.
All of this takes a lot of TIME.
Simple solution is VPS.
