Re: scp and sftp
the commercial ssh server has an option to chroot to a user's home
directory. there are patches available to openssh to do it also,
though i don't know if they've been thoroughly audited. check out
http://mail.incredimail.com/howto/openssh/
you can make sftp-server the user's shell to only allow sftp access.
