I do exactly that on my system; you can't achieve it with OpenSSH alone and need to use a helper allocation such as either scponly[1] or rssh[2].

In the next release of OpenSSH (4.4, ETA "soon") you can by combining the new "Match" and "ForceCommand" directives:


Match User sftponly
        AllowTcpForwarding no
        X11Forwarding no
        ForceCommand /usr/libexec/sftp-server -l INFO

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
