Description
Attempts to set up SFTP on an appliance and a new remote device (a server) failed even though all permissions look correct : The $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file existed and had relevant read/write permissions (i.e. 6--) and ownership USER: USERGROUP. The permissions and ownership on the appliance's /loglogic/logapp/.ssh directory and id_dsa and id_dsa.pub files were correct. In addition, the appliance could use SFTP to other remote devices.
User access at the remote device was limited to their home directory: $HOME.
Reviewing the /etc/ssh/sshd_config may be necessary to confirm a configuration that specifies a different authorized_keys filename than the default. For example, instead of the default of: #AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys the setting may be configured to be: AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys.%u Here, the .%u indicates that the user's name should be appended to the authorized_keys filename.
Issue/Introduction
SFTP/SSH set up on an appliance was prevented by not implementing the ssh configuration described in the sshd_config file.
Resolution
The file name of the file /$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys was changed to /$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys.<user's name>
