First, you need to make sure your installed ProFTPD has the mod_sftp module installed/included; you can see this via `proftpd -l`, or `proftpd -V`. Once you know that mod_sftp is present/enabled, you need to configure an SFTP <VirtualHost>. Note that using "SFTPEngine on" is not enough; mod_sftp requires other settings as well. See the "Example Configuration" section of the mod_sftp docs: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_sftp.html Hope this helps, TJ _______________________________________________ ProFTPD Developers List <proftpd-de...@proftpd.org> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/proftp-devel
