Hello Pragma

I have installed your FortressSSH software on a Windows 2003 domain controller. I created a test user on the DC and then added the test user under Pragma Local FortressSSH Configuration Manager. However, I cannot seem to make a ssh/sftp connection with that test user account. What type of access/privilege do I need to give that test user account. Please note that I do NOT want to make the test user a member of the administrator's group.

Thanks in advance.

You will need to provide "execute" privilege to the scp.exe and sftp-server.exe, which are located in the Fortress subdirectory of our installation folder. All users will also require read/write access to the configured home directory for file transfers. If you want to use the logging features, the user will also need write access to the configured log file directory.

Thank you,
