"Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?" -- winscp problem with scponlyc login shell -- solved
Hi,
My son has an scponlyc "shell" login on one of my servers.
He started to get this error:
"Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?"
He was trying to connect using WinSCP ....
The problem was that the chroot home directory wasn't owned by root, so the
login failed. I fixed this and made sure his group could write to the
directory, but it is now owned by root.
Kind Regards
