direct SSH are obscure enough not to be concerned about I think - the
majority of users are accountants so wouldn't know the tricks, but even
so a simple SFTP login (with a valid user account, by definition) is too
much of a temptation so we're trying to head that off.<br><br></div>The permission change may work, I'll need to test; depends whether the Subsystem setup spawns it as that user or not.<br><br></div>Andrew<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 July 2017 at 17:23, John McCabe-Dansted <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gmatht@gmail.com" target="_blank">gmatht@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Why do you want to stop sftp?
