Is there a way to prevent ssh access to a user account while still allowing
sftp or scp file transfers? I don't want the user to be able to get a shell
prompt or execute commands with ssh, but if they log in to the server using
another account, I want them to be able to "su" to the restricted account
and have full shell access. Is this possible, and if so how?

TIA
