Had a problem recently where I needed to share sftp uploads to linux amongst different users. Step 1: Make sure the users primary group is the shared group newgrp groupname http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_04.html Step 2: You need to know about umask. You can edit it via .bashrc, but that wont help you out for sftp Step 3: Modify sshd_config, so that it sets umask correctly for the sftp session http://jeff.robbins.ws/articles/setting-the-umask-for-sftp-transactions

This might come in handy in the future http://www.maxmind.com/

The trick here is to understand which side is the client and which is the server. Pretty simple in concept, but the reality is a little different. You copy the public key of the client user to the server user's .ssh directory in the authorised keys. The server user only needs a .ssh directory http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html There is also this guide http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/ There is also this one http://serverfault.com/questions/398/why-wont-automatic-login-through-ssh-with-authorized-keys-work And this seems to be the real fix... chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
