[SOLVED] Connect by sftp on container but not as root

[popallo]

Hi Proxmox Community!

After much research on the subject and yet still no concrete answer, I ask for your help to try to resolve an issue on unprivileged containers.

I try by all means to connect on my containers SFTP but without using the root account created by default. Each time I try to connect from another account I get thrown and I can not find a solution.

Why i want to do such thing? Just because I have "web" containers on which I stock website files and I'm wondering if I could edit files without using the host directly by an upload with SFTP.

The use of root account does not please me because I would like to chroot some user and block them to their home directory.

Would anyone have any idea about the feasibility or otherwise of such manipulation?

Thank you in advance to those who can help me move forward.

This should work without problem..
* How did you create the user inside the container? (which commands)
* How do you try to connect to the container? (again complete sftp-command)
* What errors do you get?

(please use CODE tags for pasted commands/outputs)

Ok, i'm dumb..

Actually it works well, I just had a configuration problem right on my chrooted directories.
Sorry for the inconvenience !

My chrooted directory did not belong to the root user.

Thx for your help
