Settings disappearing on Unraid [SFTP via Filezilla issues]

[lachiu]

Hello

I'm trying to setup a SFTP connection to my NAS. It sometimes works, and unfortunately, it sometimes doesn't.
I'm also following a course about networks so I've also asked my teacher for help, wasn't expecting anything else btw, he forwarded me to a few courses of him regarding SSH and SFTP which made it a lot clearer for me. I explained my issues, well, long story short, he made a "test" user which almost always has a succesful connection. 

I want to give my friend, Salim, access to share "Vids" (gameplay vids, non 18+) and my father to share "Documenten" (being documents, invoices, etc) 

I've spent the last 4 hours toying around with this, so here's how it looks in "cat /etc/passwd" 
test:x:1009:1009::/home/test:/bin/bash
tss:x:59:59:Account used by the trousers package to sandbox the tcsd daemon:/:/bin/false (not added by me)
papa:x:1010:1000::/mnt/user0/Documenten:/bin/bash
salim:x:1011:1011::/mnt/user0:/bin/bash
 

I've tried using:
- "useradd -g sftp -d /mnt/user0/share-name -s /sbin/nologin papa"

- "useradd -g sftp -d /mnt/user0/share-name -s /sbin/nologin salim"
Doesn't show a difference, figured user "test" works so why not use /bin/bash straight away. 

I can't figure out what triggers it to break the users, normally after adding the user it works, but then...

I've read that I have to edit sshd_config using "sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config" so they have to use the password, going to use the key system later, but first I want this to work. (don't fix what ain't broken).

 

After adding the following, it seems to break/not work:
"Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
    Match group sftp
    ChrootDirectory %h
    ForceCommand internal-sftp"

 

After editing sshd_config I've read that I have to restart the service. None of the other commands like "restart ssh service" work, so I found out that I have to use "/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart". 

None of the users, including "test" stop working at this point. I've noticed before that I sometimes have to restart unRAID to get things working so after doing that it suddenly rollsback sshd_config even tho I saved the file to the correct path. (just pressing enter). 

I honestly don't know what I'm missing. I've also got a Kingston A400 240GB in my array causing a lot of errors, sometimes it becomes unmountable even tho I can still read and write from the share that only has that ssd included. I've tried to remove the share and the ssd from the array but I couldn't figure it out, even after reading the wiki.

I hope I explained everything, if something's unclear you know where to comment. Thanks in advance.

If you want your settings to persist across reboots you'll need to copy /etc/ssh/sshd_config to /boot/config/ssh/sshd_config
