Need sftp help

[dmjoen]

I would like to create an account on my system that is able to connect via sftp, but not able to get to the command line. I have ssh set up, and it works great, however I have been asked to explore this possibility. Can I do this?

then you should modify user's shell in passwd file - I remember it was described somewhere on the net

Thanks for the replies. I was able to accomplish my goal by simply disabling remote logins in /etc/security/user.

i think u gotta look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config and see if sftp-server is enab;e

Check the path of the sftp-server file from the /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
