Worked an absolute treat for me, thanks for the tut.

I ran into a failed dependency just before installing the new rpms but simply ran yum remove openssh-askpass to get around.

i think this works only if the content of the iframe is on the same server.

[...] In case you have an iFrame which serves content of unknown size to your main page, you can add a little script that reads out the actual size of the iframe and alters the iframe container’s size. An additional div is implemented to be double sure to hide unwanted overlapping and to make sure the area is correctly collapsed. Ajax Read the original post on DZone… [...]

I tried this with Fedora 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686.PAE and OpenSSH_5.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0e-fips and every time I try to put as pete I get:
Uploading /tmp/testfile to /upload/testfile
remote open(“/upload/testfile”): Permission denied

sshd_config
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
AllowGroups fullssh sftponly

Match Group sftponly
ChrootDirectory /usr/newdir/sftpdir
ForceCommand internal-sftp
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no

My chroot path is /usr/newdir/sftpdir
1316546 4.0K drwxr-xr-x. 3 root sftponly 4.0K Sep 30 16:37 /usr/newdir/sftpdir/

and a subdir of upload
1316549 4.0K drwxrwxr-x. 2 pete sftponly 4.0K Sep 30 16:37 /usr/newdir/sftpdir/upload

We’re setting this up new so the installs are all fresh; no updates/upgrades. Even when I try to login as another user(not in group sftponly) I can not put even though the user goes to its home(/home/user) directory.

We did not install openssh the same way you did. We just installed through the GUI installer.
rpm -qa | grep ssh
openssh-server-5.6p1-34.fc15.1.i686
libssh2-1.2.7-1.fc15.i686
openssh-clients-5.6p1-34.fc15.1.i686
openssh-5.6p1-34.fc15.1.i686

Any ideas? Every article/blog I see has pretty much the same simple instructions but I keep getting the same results so it must be something I’m doing here.

Great tutorial – I’ve got Chrooted users working fine, but the FTP client then stops reporting the actual name and group of the owner – instead it only reports the uid and the gid. Removing the jail returns the name and group as normal but allows the user access to the whole filesystem. Have you noticed this?
