SSH-DUMMY-SHELL(1) SSH2 SSH-DUMMY-SHELL(1)
NAME
ssh-dummy-shell - Ultimately restricted shell
SYNOPSIS
ssh-dummy-shell [-c sftp-shell]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-dummy-shell is used to provide 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 parameters,
the program waits for the user to press any key and exit.
The only way to execute programs with ssh-dummy-shell is
to give them as command-line parameters with the -c
option. Even then, sftp-server is the only allowed com-
mand.
OPTIONS
-c command
The parameter is executed as a shell command. Only
the sftp-server command is allowed. Any other com-
mand causes ssh-dummy-shell to exit immediately.
RETURN STATUS
ssh-dummy-shell returns the return value of the given com-
mand. If no command is given, 0 will be returned on exit.
FILES
/etc/ssh2/ssh_dummy_shell.out
Contains the message that is shown to the user when
ssh-dummy-shell is executed without any parameters.
