As far as I am concerned, user's view is restricted enough to what I allow them to see and do. If I revoke user's rights to write to any directory except /jail/home/user, then he should only be able to upload files to his jailed home directory. My question is, how secure is Cygwin as SFTP server set up this way? Is there any security hole I don't know yet?
Security from the standpoint of access to the remote file system and processes come from the security measures put in place under Windows on the remote system. SFTP under Cygwin will not provide this. It only provids encrypted transport. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
