Problem with SFTP permission [SOLVED]

  • I am not able to use Duplicati via SFTP to backup my PC.

    I have followed all the necessary steps in the OMV workbench:

    • installed Sftp plugin
      • enabled it with port 222
    • created shared folder duplicati
      • added as share in Sftp plugin
    • created user duplicati
      • assigned to groups sftp-access, _ssh
      • granted read/write access to duplicati shared folder

    I keep on getting Permission Denied errors. When I use my root account to connect Duplicati, it works. So the problem has to do with the permissions of the duplicati user.


    How can I solve this?

    Try the resetperms plugin on the duplicati sharedfolder.

    I doubt it is the filesystem. If you remove the duplicati user from the sftp-access and_ssh groups, does it work? That would keep the duplicati user from using bind mounts.
