It looks like we have not yet released a new version including this option but: https://github.com/pkg/sftp/pull/498 should do what you’re looking for.

Is #498 merged to master? I am also wanting to provide a landing path for an sftp client. I was looking for a function that provided the ability to run 'sftp-server -d [myLandingPath]'
Hi,
I am confused as to how to use sftp.NewRequestServer() with InMemHandler() and WithStartDirectory(). Is there an example?
I need to implement an sftp-server which will set the starting directory (aka landing path) to be an absolute path which is user configurable. The problem I'm seeing is that although an sftp client can connect and it appears that it changes to the /var/tmp directory which is I've configured in my program, the client cannot see read, put, or see any files in that directory but I know it does exist and is accessible.
server := sftp.NewRequestServer(
channel, sftp.InMemHandler(), sftp.WithStartDirectory("/var/tmp"))

Using the sftp.WithStartDirectory()
does not guarantee that this path actually exists. Clients are expected to maintain their own state about what remote directory is the current working directory on the client side. If the server tells it that it is in /supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
then the client will believe the server, even if that path does not exist. It will then make requests as if that were the current working directory, even if that path does not exist.
Again, the client thinking it is in the /foo/bar
directory has no bearing on if that path actually exists. If the server says that’s the current working directory, the client has no choice but to assume it does. No checks are made prior to connection that the WithStartDirectory(path)
exists within the request server.
In order to use this properly, you need to ensure that the /foo/bar
directory passed into WithStartDirectory("/foo/bar")
exists in the sftp.InMemHandler()
before the client connects. The InMemoryHandler
starts as an empty filesystem with only the root directory /
. Since this is an in memory handler, chrooting it does not really make sense. No changes can be made to the underlying real filesystems, as it is entirely in memory, and lost at service restart.
Hello, exist some kind of function to set to each client the own root folder access? like: user1 -> /home/user1, usern -> /home/usern
