Hi, Tim,
It appears you can do something like this by running your sftp server in a "chroot jail" ...

That way, you can limit what part(s) of the IFS (file system) are "visible" to the users of sftp ...

Does that help?

We have been using secftp for years. love the interface and the ability
to use exit programs to control what a ftp user can do.

Our clients are now asking to use SFTP rather then FTP. It looks like
the iseries uses OPENSSH for this process. I did research on how to
"restrict" user commands and have tried to modify file
/qopensys/QIBM/UserData/SC1/OpenSSH/etc/sshd_config  with the following,
but did not work.

Match User xyz
ChrootDirectory /sftp/xyz
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp

Is there a way of restricting a SFTP session from certain commands like
CD,LS, etc?
