Hi
I’m tried to mount a NTFS share and put as home folder for a user, but I have an issue with permissions.
I mounted with cifs the share and configured the user home directory in sshd_config.
The user can see the folder in SFTP, but it can’t crate new files or delete files.
My permissions in NTFS share is FULL ACCESS for Everyone.
How can I solve this issue? any idea?
Thanks Advanced!
NTFS cannot handle the permissions like Linux can. Usually when you mount
an NTFS volume it is user-owned as the user that mounted it, and nobody
else has rights unless the mount command specified rights for everybody.
To help you it will be important to know exactly how you are mounting the
NTFS volume. Also, while it may make sense to put a symlink or mountpoint
in a given user’s home directory to an NTFS volume, I probably would not
use the whole directory as a home directory because of the rights
limitations of NTFS. Mounting it in place of ‘Documents’ or something may
make sense, though, since that’s probably more along the lines of what you
want to have working. Maybe then symlink from Downloads to
…/Documents/Downloads as well so you can have that in there.
Anyway, how exactly is your mount showing up one done? How are you
setting up your CIFS share exactly? Output from the mount command on
relevant machines may be helpful.

Good luck.

Thanks for your repply
Follow the command that I’m using for mount the NTFS share.
mount -t cifs //Server/sftp /var/sftp/HomeDirectory -o credentials=/root/credentials.txt,sec=ntlmssp,rw
The permissions in Linux
Folders: drwxr-xr-x
Files: -rwxr-xr-x
sshd_config
Match User USER
ChrootDirectory /var/sftp/mHomeDirectory
ForceCommand internal-sftp -u 0002
AllowTCPForwarding yes
X11Forwarding yes
Best regards

No, this is the command to mount the SMB share over the network. My guess
is that the problem is with the NTFS volume (not share) mount on the
remote system and rights there. If you mount NTFS to a Linux box then the
permissions are whatever you define when mounting, or else owned by
root:root if nothing else specified.

Short answer: don’t do it.
Use a native Linux filesystem for Linux native things, like the home
folder. Instead, you can (normally) mount, bind mount, or symlink, that
ntfs share on “~/Documents” or some other data directory.
