To configure SFTP user authentication, follow these steps:
1. Create a new SFTP user account with a unique username and password.
2. Open your SFTP server’s configuration file and locate the section that deals with user authentication.
3. Ensure that the “password authentication” option is set to “yes”. If it is set to “no”, change it to “yes”.
4. Set the “AllowUsers” option to include the username you just created. For example: “AllowUsers sftpuser“
5. Save the configuration file and restart the SFTP server.
6. Test the SFTP user authentication by connecting to the server using the new username and password.
Note: It is recommended to use a secure method for transferring authentication information, such as public key authentication, instead of relying solely on passwords.
