Adding FTP and SMB to the same folder

Question

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 Is that I am doing the best way of overlapping permissions? Is it possible to set the sFTP location for an AD user? 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

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
