Can't change user after login

2023-11-23 12:29

No matter what I use in the protocol options for SFTP
Tried many things and options, even this one

sudo su -c /usr/lib/sftp-server

The error is always the same

Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running an SFTP server?

Expended several hours trying to find a way that works for
Ubuntu 23.10

This works well for Ubuntu 23.04
Any help is really appreciated
