Re: locking down sftp directory

I guess I can live with the Cygwin limitation for now, and you are
right it is a Windows limitation ultimately, and least they only have
read permission and cannot really access the root directory. I have
thought about the virtual machine solution, but it somehow does not
seem like a good idea for a production machine,

There are a lot of production heavy hitters using Vmware ESX Server
for vitualization.

The free VMWare Server product was formerly their GSX Server product
which also got used in production environments. They're remarkably
robust though I agree that it seems a little icky at first blush.

I don't think my manager would buy it anyway.

What I really want to do is a straight linux box configured with
sftp and connect users to my windows dirctory with samba and
pam_ldap and whatever else I need, but I don't have the time to
figure it out for this project. I'll put it togethor for a solution
for future clients. I guess part of my frustration is that I did not
take the time when I had the chance in the past to really learn
Unix, and now I am sorry I did not. Thanks again for your help.

All that sounds like a hell of a cost justification for VanDyke VShell
Server :-)

If the manager can give you more time than money, then the VMWare
Server + Linux approach would be the way to go, but you'd want someone
with that experience to help you with questions, which may cost a
little money too.
