Issue with permissions when using SFTP (FTP over SSH)

I have an issue when i use SFTP, for some reason users are able to browse the system's root directory and other user's directories. Also some users don't have access to the FTPRoot alias and some do. If i connect using FTP everything is fine. Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Thanks,
Toros

There is absolutely no correlation between FTP and SFTP.
SFTP is actually a file transfer run over SSH and therefore subject to the normal account/shell restrictions, just as if the user logged in via SSH.
What you're confusing it with (easily done) is FTPS, which is SSL-encrypted FTP. This uses SSL/TLS to secure a FTP connection and is subject to the account restrictions defined in the FTP server, independent of the user's shell access.
So, in other words, SFTP uses a SSH session to transfer files. FTPS uses SSL to secure a FTP session.
There's no trivial way to prevent a SFTP user from walking through the directory tree since there's no difference between their SFTP session and an SSH session.

  • How to handle SFTP (ftp over SSH)

    Hi there,
    I know XI only supports FTP (and FTPS(SSL)) when trying to exchange files with other systems.
    Right now, i have to interconnect a legacy with XI. This external server uses SFTP (FTP over SSH) as an standard of file transfering process.
    Could you please tell me if there is a possibility to integrate them?
    Best regards,
    David

    You'll need either to:
    - develop the connection in a java proxy,
    - develop your own adapter,
    - buy an adapter for SFTP from a 3rd party,
    - if you have UNIX as OS, use OS commands (through shell script in a file adapter for example) to start SSH/SFTP connection.
    Regards,
    Henrique.

  • Java Caps 5.1.3. and SFTP (FTP over SSH)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the BatchSFTP option from the batch eway to setup FTP over SSH. I'm having trouble in setting up the keyfile. I've generated a trusted_hosts file using openSSH via CYGWIN (I'm running on W2003 server). The error I get is: Batch SFTP eWay connection failed, method=[connect()], message=[Exception when connect(), e=java.io.IOException: Invalid SSH1 public key format].
    Has anyone experience with FTP over SSH and can help me out on this.
    Thank you very much,

    You need to convert the server public key for the server that you are connecting with to the IETF SECSH format. If you have access to do that, you can run the command ssh-keygen -f myServerPublickey.pub -e > myIETFServerPublicKey.pub. Otherwise, your UNIX server admin will need to run that. Put the ITEF key in your .ssh directory and have CAPS reference that IETF format and you should be set. Make sure the connectivity map/env explorer is set to public key authentication.
    I think there is a bug in CAPS with how it is handling the SSH formated key. I have been unable to prove it to support. Furthermore, more pressing issues have taken up my time (aka, other projects).

  • Issues with Images when used w/ Caption Widget & Book File Size Q

    Hi Everyone,
    I was having issues with images not showing up and determined it was the caption widget causing the issue. I now have one of two issues happening consistently. Either the image does not show at all or just the caption box with bkgd gray and caption text shows, but without the image.
    Anyone else have this issue?
    Ay ideas would be greatly appreciated. I wasw just about finished with this project when this started!
    Also, the size of the book is considerably larger than I realized.It is 81 mb. . . How does this compare to any of your books?
    THANKS SO MUCH!
    Belinda

    Belinda,
    I can't speak to your main issue, as I cannot recreate the problem over here.
    As a guess, have you checked to make sure you're not running out of harddrive space? iBA can consume space quickly, and behaves oddly when it begins to run out of room.
    But as far as filesize goes, I can only wish for an 81 MB book. Mine is currently a little over 2 GB and growing. Tonight I had to split it into 2 volumes just so iBooks Author can run at a reasonable pace. I was getting tired of waiting 1-2 minutes after dragging a video around on the page before I could get control of the program again.
    You should note that Apple is expecting large filesizes for this new Multi-Touch format. The docs on iTunesConnect say the largest allowed upload size for a book is 16GB 2BG (see link below)

  • Issues with pagination when using Adobe table with Web dynpro for ABAP

    Hi All,
    I am facing strange issue with table text.
    I have three cols in table, one is of type Char255 and other two cols are of type string.
    The text in the col 1 is displayed perfectly but in other two cols of type string whenever we have pagination the text in table is getting truncated and in next page new row starts.
    Could you please tell me the settings that will enable flowing of text in the row of table to next page.
    Thanks,
    Arti.

    Check the properties of the text field you use for those columns (if you want to control it on this level) or check the same attribute for the row subform (one level up control): "allow page break within content".
    Regards Otto
    p.s.: we all have deadlines... and manage to pay something back. Think about it.

  • Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 Issue with Streams when using NULL value in a key field

    Hi,
    we have an issue in our replicated environment using Streams.
    We have a replicated table using the following index:
    UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 SOGID
    UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TEXT_FORMAT_ID
    UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_LANGUAGE_LABEL
    UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TEXT_FORMAT_COUNTER
    UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_PROVIDER_ID
    UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TARIFF_PLAN_COSP_ID
    with field INDEX_PROVIDER_ID allowing NULL values. Actually we insert empty strings in there, but as far as I understand Oracle will convert it sliently in a NULL value, which is fine to our application.
    When we apply a change on that table (either update or delete) we get errors at streams level and the transaction is not propagated.
    Local Transaction ID: 6.28.11170

    If I force the set of primary keys to be only the NOT NULL fields, I can successfully apply the error, but since we may have them storing both NULL and NOT NULL values, this is not a solution.
    I'm wondering why the DB on one hand converts the empty string in a NULL while inserting, but it looks the Apply process onStandby is not able to do the same when looking for the record before applying the transaction.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Workflow "issues" with Lightroom when used to using Bridge

    Ive been using bridge & Photoshop to process and edit my RAW images for a few years now. I'd love to move over to using Lightroom to take advantage of its improved features and vastly superior response time. But Im finding working with Lightroom is more cumbersome in the processing part.
    With bridge Id find the RAW image I like, adjust it using ACR and one click brigs it into photoshop. I edit the photo and save it as a psd. Often I crop and sharpen or otherwise process the psd file and save the result as a jpg in the best directory. The latter file is typically the one I show. With Bridge doing all this is straightforward.
    With Lightroom its more involved. Using the develop module I adjust the image and hit Ctrt-E to edit the picture in Photoshop. A dialog box opens and I always select Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments (be nice if we could say always do this dont ask me each time). The photo now opens in Photoshop but not before Lightroom has created a psd file in my RAW files directory. Why? So now I edit and save the result in my Before crop directory. I then crop and sharpen and save the result in my best directory. Of course Lightroom doesnt see either of my new photos in the B4 crop or best directory so I have to import them.
    Is there an easier workflow that Im missing? I dont want psd files in with my RAW files and I want to keep my best files separate.

    Mikepa, if you want to keep your PSD and "best files" separate from your raw files, then simply export the raw files to the format of your choice in the folder of your choice. You can later import these to Lr but in my workflow these exported images that I manipulate in Photoshop do not return to Lr. Instead I use Bridge as my TIF/PSD image manger.
    In short, Lr for RAW; Bridge for TIF/PSD. Why? I have thousands of RAW files that require the efficiencies that Lr deliver, but the far, far fewer TIF and PSD files I create are handled better in Bridge (with it's tight integration to Photoshop actions and scripts).

  • Anyone having issues with data when using iphone 4 on straight talk?

    ok. so i have a straight talk micro sim card purchased for installing in an iphone 4. i have found ways to get the data and mms to work perfectly using a method i found on sinfuliphone.com without jailbreaking. its been working great for last couple months. now my data is not working at all but i can still do mms msgs. was wondering if anyone else had this issue and any suggestions.

    Since Straight Talk customer service was no help at all by telling me to call apple instead of trying to help me, this is what I did to fix the issue! I am not saying it will work for you but it worked for me so what do you have to lose! First of all, I have a At&t iphone!
    The first thing I did was remove the Straight Talk APN Profile that was installed or remove any one there! Because of what I read in the Straight Talk website which was:::
    For iPhone customers who activated using anAT&T compatible SIM card, there is NO need to program APN settings as this will be done automatically.
    Ok, here is what I did after that: First I removed the SIM card from the phone, then I rebooted the phone, then I reset network settings, then put the SIM card back in and BAM, I had 3G once again!
    Please keep in mind I am no expert, It was just by chance that this worked for me! And all of this with no APN Profile what so ever! Good Luck,,,,Dano

  • Issues with images when using data merge

    Here's the deal. We are converting from CS6 to CC2014. I have a file that opens fine in CS6, the merge works fine.
    If I open that file in CC2014 it works fine with the exact same list. But, if I relink a new list or change and update the current list, the data merge no longer works for the images in data merge. Even though nothing has changed in the file links.
    I get the error that it cannot find the images.
    Is this a know issue?
    Mac OSX 10.10.1

    It could be that the template is some how bunged up, even though it is evidently working in CS6. You might want to try, as a test, setting upa  new document in CC, add the data file, put your placeholders in the document and merging. Then change the merge file, then try to update it.
    All I can really say is that I have not experienced this issue (yet). And as far as I can tell, yours is the first post on the matter that isn't document corruption related, or that Previewing the records hasn't caused some malady. either needs the template remade or brought into a new file to fix. You issue sounds sort of half-way between.

  • TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

    I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
    The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
    Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
    I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

    I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
    I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

  • Issues With Permissions With iTunes/iMac

    Hey there - I hope someone out there can help me. I have all my media files (music, movies etc) on the MacHD. There are two profiles on the iMac...for myself and my partner. I have over 200 gigs of stuff that we both pull from. Lately, my partner is getting errors saying he does not have enough permissions to purchase from the iTunes store or even add to the library. This had happened before, and Apple support told me to move all files to the MacHD and point iTunes to that folder and all is well. Did that...and here we are again. I was told iTunes has to have the files where it wants them or it will not function and will not allow either profile to add to the library. I want to have both profiles pull from the same library and add files and so on. I also want iTunes to cooperate and do what I tell it to do. Anyone else have this issue with permissions?

    I do not think that iTunes usually plays well with this kind of combined user library. But the real iTunes gurus hang out in the iTunes Apple Discussions.
