openssh unix dev - Feb 2012 - Restrict commands available in an SFTP session

Hello,

i am using SFTP with CHROOT. I want to allow my users that they can upload 

and download with the sftp server, but they should never do an MKDIR!
Is it possible to restrict commands and how can i do this?
i only found material of modifing the source...and that is not the best way for 

me.

regards

sftp-server has no provisions for this.

Maybe you can work with filesystem permissions and ACLs.
