[Jailkit-users] sftpg3 and jailkit issue

[Corey Van Allen]

Has anyone successfully used sftpg3 with jailkit? I have a client's 
company that uses this for their sftp client and whenever they try to 
access our site it fails and I see this in the log.

suna by (uid=0)

/var/ftp4/sftp for user suna (5237)
Jul 31 17:26:01 transfer jk_lsh[19960]: WARNING: user suna (5237) tried 
to get an interactive shell session (/usr/sbin/jk_lsh), which is never 
allowed by jk_lsh

suna

They tested with a different client and it worked fine. I've never had 
any issues with any of our other client's clients or any of ours. So I 
don't feel it's a jailkit issue.

The easy solution would be for them to use a "better" client, but they 
have standardized on sftpg3. Since, they have some size to them, it's 
difficult to get them to change. They expect us, as little guys, to.

Since it appears to be a commercial-ware client, I haven't found a copy 
for my own testing. I'm just trying to avoid a battle with the owner 
expecting me to "just fix it" meaning allow them free range sftp access.
