Hi erik. Thanks for the posting. I have worked with FTP and it works. I am not sure about SFTP I will do some more research on it and get back to you. Thanks

this won’t work because FTPS (vsftpd supports this) and SFTP (vsftpd doesn’t) are completely different protocols. There’s a lot of confusion on the net about this. I don’t think vsftpd can be used on port 22 at an SFTP client

thegeekstuff.com@Omar SFTP uses the OpenSSH server.

sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client

Then in the client you log in like you normally would but using the port 22. (Unless you change it to something else in the openssh config file) and you can add users with useradd. As for private/public keys, that doesn’t exactly relate to SFTP but you can follow this guide:

All that does is allow you to log into a ssh “secure shell” session without having to enter your password.

What about setting up SFTP and generating private/public keys for it?
