How to use the financial repository
This page has been moved to docs.fsfe.org with the rest of the sysadmin documentation.
The goal of this document is to explain how the financial repository works. It relies on SFTP to share parts of the server's filesystem.
How to use it?
Use the following command:
sftp sftp-server.example.com:/team1 # For debugging sftp -vv sftp-server.example.com:/team1
Or use a file manager with a GUI, please follow this tutorial.
Sample configuration
Here is a example to give access to a user, from the /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
match group team1, user *,!auto-er
allowtcpforwarding no
chrootdirectory /path/to/sftp/team1
forcecommand internal-sftp -u 007This configuration is applied to everyone logged in as a user part of the team1 group, except auto-er. For all members of this group, they are jailed in /path/to/sftp/team1 and are forced to use the command internal-sftp -u 007 , which gives them a SFTP access with a 007 umask.
