why it happen


why i m not able to access this using sftp

what to do so that sftp work with /bin/false

/bin/false is related to shell / terminal allocation, it has nothing to do with sftp. If you need sftp, you have to allow shell access. If you need very restricted shell, look in Google for jail shell.
