How to restrict user in Ssh file transfer in windows 2016

Hi Prasanna

1. Configure SSH server:

   • Locate the sshd_config file in the SSH server's installation directory (e.g., ProgramData\ssh).
   • Open the sshd_config file with a text editor.
   • Find the Subsystem sftp line and add or modify it as follows:

     Subsystem sftp internal-sftp -d /path/to/E/drive/folder
     

     Replace /path/to/E/drive/folder with the actual path to the folder on the E drive that you want to grant SFTP access to.
   • Save the sshd_config file.

2. Create SFTP user account:

   • Open the command prompt or PowerShell with administrative privileges.
   • Execute the following command to create a new user account:

     net user sftpuser sftppassword /add

     Replace sftpuser with the desired username and sftppassword with the desired password for the SFTP user.

3. Grant permissions to the E drive folder:

   • Right-click on the folder on the E drive that you want to grant access to.
   • Select "Properties" and go to the "Security" tab.
   • Click on the "Edit" button.
   • Click on the "Add" button and enter the SFTP username (e.g., sftpuser).
   • Click "Check Names" to validate the username and then click "OK".
   • Grant appropriate permissions to the user for the folder (e.g., "Read" or "Read & Write" depending on your requirements).
   • Click "OK" to save the changes.

4. Restart the SSH service:

   • Open the Services management console.
   • Locate the SSH server service (e.g., OpenSSH SSH Server).
   • Restart the SSH server service to apply the configuration changes.
