SCP and backing up data

Question

I have a user on my Linux NAS box running barebones and I want to setup SCP but without Shell access and I ONLY want it to access one folder. Is this possible?

Answer 1

It is possible , You can set the shell of the user to : /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

root@host # usermod -s /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server username

Try to find the location of sftp-server because it may be placed in different location.

It looks like this has already been answered before. You might also consider installing rssh.
