Building a chroot environment for sftp (only)

URL: http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/

Description: Step-by-step guide to setting up chroot'd SFTP using OpenSSH and a small patch, for use in environments where users need to be given SFTP access but *no shell*.

This method reduces the administration overhead, since libraries and so forth do not need to be installed in users' chroot'd environments (as with other variants of chroot'd OpenSSH).
