I can set up a user account which cannot logon by specifying a nologin shell, but that can use their userid and password to logon with ftp and download files. I can also keep that user locked into the specified home directory. Since that user cannot logon, he/she cannot use ssh to logon. However, that also means that user cannot use sftp rather than ftp for file transfers? Does anyway exist to setup a user account that can use sftp for downloading files, but cannot use ssh to login to a shell (as well as keep them locked into their home directory)? Thank you.
