In trying to set up a SFTP user I followed the instructions at
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/SFTP
But when I try and use SFTP ( winSCP or WebFTP.dreamhost.com or FileZilla)
I cannot see any of mysite folders or files.
But, I can see what looks like the complete folder structure of the server from ROOT up.
My new user was created from my site panel.
It does show that is is a member of the group dpnnnnnnn
When created, it was given a home folder of /home/newusername/ (where newusername is the name I gave it.)
Something is going wrong, as I cannot get to see any files related to mysite.
When I connect using WebFTP.dreamhost.com (trying both secure and unsecure modes), there are only two folders showing. These are Maildir and logs
I created a new folder named “wtf”.
here is a link to the screenshot of my new user
