Adding FTP and SMB to the same folder

Hello

I have been given a request to have both sFTP access and SMB to the same location.

The order I have it working is as follows

  • created a local Isilon user for the sFTP and set the home folder to a structured location \\ifs\site\data
  • Followed the Dell article to allow sFTP access
  • Created a SMB share to the same location and assigned AD permissions

Issues:

  • If the SMB is already created then when I try to add sFTP is goes already in use.
  • If I use an AD account for the sFTP it works but it directs to the route of the Isilon rather than the subfolder.

my questions

  1. Is that I am doing the best way of overlapping permissions?
  2. Is it possible to set the sFTP location for an AD user?
  3. is there a better explanation of sFTP configuration out there, maybe on a blog? as the Web Admin guide isn't the best/

thanks in advance

Question 1 should be

  1. Is this the best way of overlapping permissions?

Hello NotStopIsilonProblems,

Which Isilon system do you have and what is your current onefs version?

Hello NotStopIsilonProblems,

SSH and SFTP access only work within the System zone. Here is a link to a guide for Configuring SFTP. https://dell.to/3AbIbsD

thanks for the article, now back from A/L and been trying to work out how this works.

Sadly got stuck, does anyone have any experience with this? or pointers to re-direct me?

I ran the command 

isi ssh settings modify --match="Match Group TEST_Group
ChrootDirectory /ifs/site/Systems/Snapshot
ForceCommand internal-sftp"

the TEST_Group has my AD Account in this, and I have created a role that grants SSH

When I try to SFTP in, I get the error

Authentication failed.
The server rejected SFTP connection, but it listens for FTP connections.

Did you want to use FTP protocol instead of SFTP? Prefer using encryption.

I now can't find a way to remove my match command or get this to work :)

Version of SSH is  OpenSSH_9.3p2, OpenSSL 1.0.2zi-fips  1 Aug 2023

any help or guidance would be appreciated
