    Yes, Richard Silverman wrote an excellent book with O'Reilly Associates that
    should answer all your questions about SSH. There's also a Linux Security
    Cookbook from the same company that's pretty good, and may be more useful to
    you.

    You may also consider using WebDAV over SSL instead of SSH: it's easier to
    set up to restrict the user to a single directory, and support for is built
    into Windows, Linux, and is available for MacOS.
