As I am not a huge fan of running an ftpd (ISTR security exploits?) I usually scp files from remote locations on to my box. I don't mind setting this person up with a shell as I trust him, but at the same time, I want to restrict his access to just his home directory. Unfortunately, I don't really know where to start looking for hints on setting this up. If someone could point me in the direction I'd really appreciate it. Alternatively, if there is a secure ftpd to run, I'd be willing to set that up instead. System is 4.4-R.
