Comment on Implement a SFTP Service for Ubuntu/Debian With a Chroot’ed, Isolated File Directory. by Emil Connelly Larsen

Hi Ben,
Thanks for this super guide. I am using it on a VM hosted in a Google Cloud instance. It gives the error message: “Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)”
It could be that the server requires the use of public/private keys and not passwords. If I want to use public/private keys, I would normally put the key in the .ssh directory of the user, but without a user directory, is there a way around that? I tried not having -M but a user directory isn’t made (maybe because it relates to the sftpgroup).
