I apologize if this is too OT. I have a developer who needs access to /u/l/a/htdocs/his_project_documentation. I don't want to give him a shell account because he only needs to dump some online manuals in this directory. I also don't want him to be able to navigate the file system. >From what I have seen, If I create a user with no shell account, sftp will not work. It fails with: Warning: ssh_packet_wrapper_input: invalid packet received: len 1416128887 closing the offending input channel. If I create a user with the home drive pointing to /u/l/a/htdocs/his_project_documentation, all of the dot files get dumped there and they can still navigate the filesystem. I have installed rssh from pizzashack.org and have limited them to just SFTP, but again they can still navigate the filesystem. If I understand the CHROOT jail process properly, I would need to copy various system binaries to the chrooted area and I don't want to do that. So my burning question is: How do I give this user sftp access only to a very limited area of my system? Any assistance appreciated.
