Hi,
So I have been learning how to secure my server recently and get into more of the security side of stuff. Now I've been playing around with the permissions, disabling root access and creating a new user.
Now do I give the new user on the server to be able to read & write files through SFTP? I've been looking all over the internet and I can not seem to find anything, all I see is the same stuff to do with chmod or chown -R user:user file (which doesn't work) - still receive same error.
Edit. I resolved the first issue now I am receiving "Network error: Connection refused" when connecting to SSH. It seems like my SSH is failing to start.
Thanks,
oPqnda.
