For this install I chose to use MySecureShell as a small and quick way to stand up an SFTP Server. As usual all commands are in Bold.
Log into your Ubuntu Server with Admin credentials:
Sudo apt-get install mysecureshell
cd /etc/apt
sudo nano sources.list
Add the following lines:
Deb http://mysecureshell.free.fr/repository/index.php/ubuntu testing main
Deb-src http://mysecureshell.free.fr/repository/index.php/ubuntu testing main
And Write out the file
Now update source list and install mysecureshell
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mysecureshell
To test the SFTP Is installed run:
Whereis mysecureshell
If you have user accounts already created, you need to usermod them to use them, or you can create account:
Create Account:
sudo adduser <name of account you want to create>
Enter password
Add account you already have:
sudo usermod -s /usr/bin/mysecureshell <username>
To test, either use an SFTP Client i.e FileZilla or connect via CLi
sftp <username>@<sftpserver IP Address>
Enter password and ensure you can Read / Write
User directories
SFTP Data is stored in that users Home directory:
/home/<username>
