THis isn't a question of being good or badly implemented, it's the simple fact that it doesn't (and can't) provide what people think it does. Chroot is a bad fake on Cygwin. Even a super cool implementation doesn't change that. > But regarding this SFTP > implementation, what I (and TheO too, I suppose) want to know is not > the myriad of ways that security can go wrong; but only if the chroot > filtering (strictly inside of SFTP implementation) is honored. Given that chroot is implemented within Cygwin, SFTP has nothing to do with it. However, this is EOD for me. You have been warned. Feel free to use it, but I, for one, wouldn't.
