    I have made ssh more and more restrictive, different port, only one user can log in (then su to root).
    But I would like to have my users be able to use sftp.

    I've been testing with giving users jailshell but of course they are not in the "allow" list for sshd.

    Anyone have an idea how to do this?

    Thanks

    From a shell they would use sftp -oPort=xx user@host ( where xx is the port number. )
