Also, search the web for "chroot >sftp". That locks the user in their home directory, but I have to give them access to other things outside that directory, just not let them go walking around and get into any other directory on the system. That's why I was thinking of VSFTP, which locks the user into their home directory, doesn't use ssh, uses TLS or something else, and lets the administrator define a list of places where the user can go.
