You can use something like scponly, to keep anyone who steals the key
from getting shell access to your firewall:

You could also limit where logins come from via AllowUsers in your
sshd config.

I had thought OpenSSH had some facility built in for limiting what
particular users could do (so you could create an account that can
only be used for sftp transfers, and sshd would not allow that user to
get a tty or shell), but I can't seem to find anything about that in
the man page, so I may just be imagining this feature.
