Very tangentially, I've had some good luck with rssh lately. It lets you setup a Restricted SSH environment, basically a chroot jail for ssh users.


I had a friend who wanted a website for his kids' nursery school which I wanted to host gratis for him but didn't necessarily want to expose him (read: his windows software) to my server. rssh fit the bill and works as advertised.

I set him up with the putty sftp client, and off he went.

Apache can see into his jail but he can't see out of it.
