It's a good idea, but it's not necessary.
I'd suggest looking into a restricted shell. For instance, there's rbash (
look for it in the bash man page ).
I'm worried about one part, though.
###
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed (see
COMâ
MAND EXECUTION above), rbash turns off any restrictions in the
shell
spawned to execute the script.
###
So you just need to be able to write shell scripts to get around the
restrictions?
Hopefull sftp can be configured to do what you're wanting.
apt-cache search for filezilla returns nothing, so I don't know if
FileZilla can handle sftp. At least a few GUIs can.
ciao,
