sftp with /bin/false shell

We are trying to restrict the user for the sftp account and it does not work with shell being set to /bin/false in password file. This works fine with ftp or vsftp. Hence is there any other shell meant to be used with sftp ?

Re: sftp with /bin/false shell

second option is great and that is what you need exactly..

Regarding first option,--"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"...i am not sure what is the advantage by NOT giving execute but write(delete/modify) access.

We are using rssh (http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/).

This also has the option to chroot the user to a given directory (you have to create the chroot enviroment yourself).
