You can try using SCPONLY. scponly is an alternative "shell" (of sorts) for system administrators who would like to provide access to remote users to both read and write local files without providing any remote execution privileges. This would mean users with this shell can neither login interactively nor execute commands remotely. They can however, scp files in and out, governed by the usual Unixish file permissions.

My name is Patrick. So, and now let's switch to troubleshooting :-) My environment is a Windows XP SP3 Client running OpenSSH as service. SFTP enabled. All works great...a little bit too great :-) I have the following problem. I have 2 accounts on the SSH: One for me and one for my brother. At work I use putty to connect to my Server. I enabled dynamic portforwarding and added localhost and the dynamic port as a Socks-Proxy to my browser. Now I can surf the web from anywhere using my home-Internet-Connection. That works great. But even my brother can use this connection...and this is what I do not want. He should be able to connect via SCP-Client (WinSCP) to the SFTP-Server but NOT(!) connect via putty and SSH (so he can't use the connection as socks-proxy). But when I diable SSH-connection for his account, even SCP does not work. Can someone help me? I am a completely newbie to this topic. So, if there is a solution, please explain it "slowly and simple" Thanks in advance Patrick Amardeep Singh
