    I need to lock down a useer so that they can only ssh in for scp
    puposes and stay in a certain directory. I've looked around with google,
    but I can't find what I'm looking for. Can someone point me the right
    direction, maybe a tutorial that they have found useful?

    Thank you for your time,
    -Steve
