Steps to create a new SSH user and SFTP user

How to add a SFTP user to your VM managed by ServerPilot control panel using Ubuntu 14.04

I am not a security expert, so take it for what its worth.

OpenSSH has this ability built in, few people just seem to use the feature. Below is what works for me, but if you have a better way please share the uninformed.

The Steps:

  1. First create a new app inside of the SP control panel
  2. Now, decide what direcoty you want to put the users directory; either `` or /public. This will keep trolls at bay.
