Description: Restricts the commands available to scp- and sftp-users
 "scponly" is an alternative 'shell' (of sorts) for system
 administrators who would like to provide access to remote users to
 both read and write local files without providing any remote
 execution priviledges.  Functionally, it is best described as a
 wrapper to the mostly trusted suite of ssh applications.


Hope that helps :)
