How to make Ubuntu sshd configuration writable during secure ftp?

My current /etc/ssh/sshd_config file says this:



# override default of no subsystems

#Subsystem      sftp    /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

Subsystem       sftp    interal-sftp



# Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis

#Match User anoncvs

#       X11Forwarding no

#       AllowTcpForwarding no

#       PermitTTY no

#       ForceCommand cvs server



Match Group sftp_users

X11Forwarding no

AllowTcpForwarding no

ChrootDirectory /home

ForceCommand internal-sftp


I have added myself (user-id) to the sftp_users group, restarted SSHd service etc., and I do get the login/password prompt when attempting to open secure-FTP connection to this host, but then from the remote SFTP client (PSFTP on Windows 10 machine) I find that the destination directory is "/" (root) and it is obviously not writable. Trying to do a change-directory to /home/myuser fails, so this appears to be a CHROOT root. What can I do s.t. after logging-in I can get to /home/myuser and find it writable ?

  • login to SFTP as user-id instead of root.

  • Actually, I am logging in as user-id, not as root.

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

Image
0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
