Using the steps mentioned in this link

I am able to setup a basic SFTP server and create 2 users customer1 and customer2.

And each will get their own root folders.

Is there anyway to create shared folders between them and with both read-only and read/write mode.

Please suggest.

I think you need to unix groups..Create a group that both users and create a directory that can be access by both users in that group. kifarunix.com/… has some great info for you to test.

Maybe a bind mount of that directory inside the users' root folders?

I am trying to add a certificate also for this ssh. But we have the certificate in pfx format received from godaddy, CA root authority. How to use it here, most of the links I got is creating a pem self signed one. How to use this existing pfx one? Please suggest
