PhpMyAdmin is an essential accessory for LAMP and other more complex servers, allowing us to conveniently manage our databases in a web interface. The phpMyAdmin web database management interface installation package was not previously available in the official Debian 10 (Buster) repository. So when I created the installer description for the Debian 10 LAMP server, I still had to install it manually. Since then, however, Debian has made the phpMyAdmin package available in the backports repository. In this description, in addition to the previous Debian 10 (Buster) LAMP server installation description, we will install our favorite web database manager from the backports repository, among other things, following the changes that have taken place in the meantime.

You may want to share larger files with others, or just receive ones that no longer fit in an email. Of course, there are also free file shares for this purpose, but if two-way data transfer is required more often, for example during teleworking, it is more expedient to solve this ourselves. SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is great for this, offering a secure file transfer solution over an SSH connection, unlike an unencrypted and outdated FTP connection. SFTP is available by default on any server that also has SSH access. As a result, in the present situation, the SSH connection has so many beauty flaws that it also provides a shell access, which we will not need here right now, because we do not want to be able to access other directories on our computer through the access we share. In this tutorial, we will look at how to create an SFTP user without shell access on your Linux system.
