Let me clarify: by sftp, do you mean sftp as provided by sshd or are you
talking about regular FTP with some sort of SSL encryption?

On our shared web server, I am using proftpd to provide FTP service but by
giving users a login shell of rssh
(http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/index.shtml) I can also provide them with
scp/sftp/rsync without giving them a regular shell.

(I have combined this with libnss-mysql
[http://libnss-mysql.sourceforge.net/] so those users dont have real
system accounts either.
