moin, moin,

a few times we've had questions about how to setup ssh to only allow scp.

I haven't ever seen an answer on the list that really locked everything
down.

Maybe this project does.

Description: Restricts the commands available to scp- and sftp-users
"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 priviledges. Functionally, it is best described as a
wrapper to the mostly trusted suite of ssh applications.

ciao,
