restricting sftp and ssh for a user

I want to know if there is any way to set up a users home directory access with a restricted shell and allow them to SFTP to the directory. I want to allow the user to SSH into their home directory but no where else on the AIX server. I also want the user to be able to SFTP files to their home directory only. They need to have both SSH and SFTP access to their home directory ONLY.
