Step 2: SFTP Server Setup

In this example, the SFTP server sits on the edge node. In other configurations, it can be on any system in the same network as the control plane.

1. Install ssh:

   sudo apt install ssh
   

2. Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:

   sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   

   If not done during machine preparation, add the following lines at the end of the file:

   Match group sftp
   ChrootDirectory /home
   X11Forwarding no
   AllowTcpForwarding no
   ForceCommand internal-sftp
   

3. Restart the ssh service by running:

   sudo systemctl restart ssh
   

4. Create group and user:

   sudo addgroup sftp
   sudo useradd -m fdo_sftp -g sftp
   sudo passwd fdo_sftp
   sudo chmod 0700 /home/fdo_sftp
