NAME

ssh-dummy-shell - Restricted shell

SYNOPSIS

ssh-dummy-shell [-c sftp-shell]

OPTIONS

-c sftp-shell The -c sftp-shell option is executed as a shell command. Only the sftp-server argument is allowed. Any other argument causes the ssh- dummy-shell command to exit immediately.

DESCRIPTION

The ssh-dummy-shell command provides access to systems where only file transfer functionality is permitted. Users with file transfer only access can have ssh-dummy-shell as their user shell. When executed without any options, the ssh-dummy-shell command waits for the user to press any key and exit. The only way to execute programs with the ssh-dummy-shell command is to specify them by using the -c option. Even then, sftp-server is the only allowable argument.

EXIT STATUS

The ssh-dummy-shell command returns the value of the command. If no command is given, 0 will be returned on exit.

FILES
