sshd-config sftp/scp w/o shell?

[hapaboy]

I'm building a file server and having gone through this forum I've decided again a plain ftp server. Is there a way to configure sshd so that users can only use it like a ftp server and not be able to use it like telnet as well?

Yes, read man sshd

You must be using a client that supports the sftp protocol. sshd does not interact with ftp clients.

Your can test the server from the command line with a command like:
sftp username@hostname
