      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: scponly
      Version: 4.6
      Category: security net sysutils
      Maintainers: nomaintainer
      Description: Limited shell which wraps scp/sftp
      Long Description: "scponly" is an alternative 'shell' (of sorts) for system administrators who would like to provide access to remote users to both read and write local files without providing any remote execution priviledges. Functionally, it is best described as a wrapper to the mostly trusted suite of ssh applications.
