Just one Question, couldn't find anything on this: how could I set up ssh users for accessing only one specific Folder and not the entire Directory system?

[@pnk]

Thanks for you comment.
On linux you bind the folder to the single user, its nothing to do with the ssh login, ssh its just a protocol there allow you to connect remotely like RDP :)
So i think you need to lock the folder for the single user so the user only have access to home folder

[@LIMECZ]

when i try to connect, it says: Permission denided (publickey,keyboard-nteractive).

Thank you for awesome video, what if I were to run a bash script (.sh) on server after connecting with SSH? At the moment I run it on Bash Terminal. want to run it thru terminal

[@pnk]

Sorry for the late replay, you can't run bash / sh script direcly inside windows, you need to install subsystem for it first like Ubuntu or somthing like that, if you run on Windows Server 2019 i got this video ua-cam.com/video/kUl0_RvxG90/v-deo.html you can se how to install a subsystem, and then you can login by using SSH for windows server 2019 and execute your bash script if you are going into the subsystem first.
But why not save your self all the pain, translate your bash script into a powershell then you can run it on your Windows 2016 server, i will recommend you to translate it :)

[@aghileslounis]

awesome but did not work for me i need a password to connect and i don't have password setup for the computer, even i tried to create one but it seems it need some other password

[@pnk]

your login shut be as defualt "administrator" and then the administrator password you pick to the server, if you create a new user on the server then you need to use this password
if its not working i think not its a openssh problem, but somthing on your server you need to look at, d. 15 and 17 June i will published 2 new videos about OpenSSH for Windows 2019, try to watch this video's it will work for Windows Server 2016 to.
