I am trying to use sftp for a drop box type of application. Using a common userid and password, allow known entities to PUT files on my server. But not allow them get GET the files that are there, not to overwrite on the files. However, sftp seems to ignore that file permissions that are on the files! I change the permissions to 000 and a client can still GET the file and overwrite it with a new file! What can I do to configure the sftp-server to behave the way I need?
