Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If there is the default authorized directory for an SFTP user on the device, you can run this command to change the directory.

Precautions

Users can only access the specified directory on the SFTP server. If the username user does not exist, the system creates an SSH user named username and uses the SFTP service authorized directory configured for the user. If the configured directory does not exist, the SFTP client fails to connect to the SSH server using this SSH user. After a master/backup switchover or device restart is performed, the SFTP client fails to connect to the SSH server if the configured directory does not exist. In this case, check whether the configured directory is valid. If the configured directory is invalid, re-configure it.

Example

# Configure the SFTP service authorized directory flash:/ssh for the SSH user admin.
