I'm following this tutorial to setup a new sftp user on a webserver running on debian, but when I get to step 3
sudo addgroup filetransfer
I can't go on because the terminal gives me the following error
Addgroup: command not found
I installed the adduser package with apt-get install and the server says it's already installed. I also tried to use the command groupadd but nothing changes.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks everyone!
EDIT: the result of sudo bash -c 'echo $PATH' as asked in the questions below
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
sudo path

What happens when you trysudo groupadd filetransfera second time? Thegroupaddutility does not provide verbose output, but does when the group already exists.

It looks like your environment doesn't include the /usr/sbin directory that holds such system programs.
The quick fix should be to use /usr/sbin/adduser instead of just adduser.
Two alternative solutions are:
Change the
PATHin.bashrcand/or.bash_profileso that/usr/sbinis included in the list. For example, here is my setting:export PATH="$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"Edit the
sudoersconfiguration (withsudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/securepath) and add this line to the empty file:# Extend the PATH for sudo commands
Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
Either would be sufficient.
