Java Locking Down SFTP

Hi List,

I'm sure this has been done before and there must be several ways to skin the cat on this topic. What I am trying to achieve is set up user accounts for use with SFTP based on the standard OpenSSH protocol. And I want to be able to lock them down so that they cannot browse outside of their own home directories and can only write to their home directories but cannot read from them.

Using CentOS 6.

What is the best solution? I'd be interested in hearing any solutions.


thanks,
