SFTP setup help on Ubuntu

1. How do i disable SSH access via putty, terminal, etc. both internally and externally?
2. Is there a quick way to configure the ports on the system to only allow port 22 for SFTP and block all other ports?
3. How do I make it so that when you log in with the SFTP account, it starts on a dedicated directory only. I don't want the system folders etc. to be shown.

Hi guys,

I just created a SFTP server on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS that will be accessed both internally and externally for file transfers from following the guide found at the Linod link below.
https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-r...g-access-with-sftp-jails-on-debian-and-ubuntu

There are 2 other issues I now need to resolve before I make it 'live' for actual usage.

Thanks in advance!

1) I dont understand how you would access the server if you do that? But I also do not know how

2) UFW (uncomplicated firewall) is already there and should be able to do that with a couple of quick commands.

Code:

sudo ufw status

#tells you what the default rules are

Code:

sudo ufw deny all

# disables all ports

Code:

sudo ufw allow 22

#allows tcp and udp on port 22

3) beats the hell out of me

sorry I could only help with the one question
