Is there a way to give SCP/SFTP access to the user without giving an option to user type shell commands.

/bin/bash
SCP/SFTP works fine.

/bin/false
SCP/SFTP dont work at all.

OR

Is there a way to make ProFTPD use SSH?

its not possible to give them shell access without shell access :D

scp uses secure shell commands so it requires real shell.

you might want to run sftp server anr let users ftp securely.

or run ssh tunnel for ftp from the PC to the server.

other option u can give them jailedshell not bash which has more limits than bash.

OK, i tryed to find info on that jailedshell without luck. Do someone have a nice howto in their favourites?

Also looking howto to make ssh tunnel to the proftp.

if you want to only give scp access there is a app called scponly. you set that to their shell and they can only get in via scp.. I'm not sure about sftp

Thx for the tip, im checking it out now. Seems pretty good. Chroot also availeble, and that is allways a good thing :)

Hehe, cant get it installed... noob me :bawling:

I untar it to /usr/local/scponly-3.11 and
./configure dont work.

After ./configure - make & make install, right?

what error did you get on the configure

bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Tryed to install as root.

try tunning

sh ./configure or
bash ./configure
