How can I create another FTP account in debian?

Hello.

I'm using Bitnami Nginx VM on GCP.

I tried to create another user to access FTP server of VM.

but Eventually I failed all.
(both sftp of openssh - default and vsftpd - additional installation)

This summary is my situation I'm in.

I have to give New FTP account to Web Designer.
This New FTP account has to be on these terms as below.
1) This account should be accessible only under '/opt/bitnami/nginx/html' path.
2) This account must not have Shell permission.

I do a lot of searching on Googling, I tried several ways.
but It failed...
So now I'm giving up.
It is too dificult for me.

Does anyone actually solve a similar situation?

Hi,

the problem there is that your user sammyfiles is not allowed to perform an ssh connection. You must use an ssh key in order to connect. You can add one for the user sammyfiles following these instructions
