Subject: [gentoo-user] scp login but confine the user to his home directory?
Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2007 19:13:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b0702021913k6fd4f260m7932da2a6293bca4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
   I'm wondering if it is possible and/or advisable to set up an
account where a user can scp files in and out of his home directory
using scp but if he logs into the machine using ssh he cannot go
anywhere outside of his home directory?

   Mainly the intended application is a group file server but it is
possible that we may want to run some scripts in the account so being
able to ssh in has an advantage over ftp. That said I don't want the
users cd-ing around the machine, etc.

   How would I set something like this up?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
