[Discuss] Using sftp without a shell account



Thanks for reading this.

I'm setting up an LDAP-based server, which will be used for file 
transfers among other things. I'd like to allow LDAP users to access the 
machine via sftp, but I can't figure out how to do that without giving 
each user a local shell account, and I'm looking for advice.

The LDAP users can access ftp without trouble, but not sftp.

It's a Mac Mini, running OS X "Yosemite", with Server v4.1.

TIA.

Bill
