[SOLVED] Chrooted SFTP only works under certain circumstances

Hi all,

I followed the instructions and it works very well so far.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP_chroot

In the test i can mount the sftp share from another computer in the network and only see the jailed folder. it also works from another server over the internet. but it doesn't always work if i give all necessary login information to a colleague to mount that folder. I'm pretty clueless what is causing these errors and thankful for any help

Working: Debian Buster sshfs mount (OpenSSH_7.9p1 Debian-10+deb10u2, OpenSSL 1.1.1d  10 Sep 2019), Windows putty/WinSCP, FileZilla

Not working: Ubuntu/Debian/Raspbian (OpenSSH_7.9p1 Raspbian-10+deb10u2, OpenSSL 1.1.1d  10 Sep 2019) sshfs mount

Client command

sshfs test1@example.org:/ /mnt/test -o IdentityFile=/home/test1/key.prv

also added: -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

Client error

The authenticity of host '[example.org]:22 ([ip]:22)' can't be established.

Re: [SOLVED] Chrooted SFTP only works under certain circumstances

solved:

sshfs mounting only works in raspbian/ubuntu server with the key added to the ssh-agent
