Thank you, Joshua Lewis Well, maybe it's abrupt; I don't see a clear description of the problem you are having, but it seems you want to perform an encrypted file transfer? You mention PuTTY; IIRC, Mr. Tatham had also written psftp, which came with a complete installation of PuTTY and enacted file transfer via SSH protocols on Windows. So, from the cmd shell on WinXP, you could utilize psftp to grab files from your FreeBSD server. psftp is probably also available (seperately) from the FTP site at: ftp://chiark.greend.org.uk/users/sgtatham That'd be a pull. There are plenty of other possibilities, I'd think, also. As an example, many Windows FTP clients support SFTP, which operates as an SSH subsystem on FreeBSD, and if you can use PuTTY to log in to a FBSD box, then you should be able to use one of these to pull data, as well.

It's not enough to just give a username and a machine name. You need
tell scp *where* on the remote machine you want the file put:
$ scp file.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:.
The colon (':') seperates the hostname from the file path. If the
colon isn't there, scp won't recognize the 2nd parameter as a

I have one system where my users have shell accounts and hang out

I want my users to be able to transfer files to the production

production webserver.
So on the production machine, each of these users has a home
directory, and a shell of /sbin/nologin.
Unfortunately as you've observed, that won't work. You have to have a
valid shell in order to use scp or sftp.
Do I really have to permit shell access for these accounts in order
to use scp or sftp?
No. You can get around that, but it's not particularly pretty. It's
also probably not completely impervious to a clever hacker. You need
to do the following:
i) Insist that the only authentication method permitted for
accessing the production server is via ssh public/private key
pairs. Remove the password crypt text from /etc/master.passwd
-- replace with '*' or somesuch, so password authentication is
impossible.
ii) Get your users to generate public/private key pairs.
Install the public keys into the appropriate
${HOME}/.ssh/authorized-keys files, but use the forced command
feature, by prefixing the line with
command=scp -i ssh-rsa B3NzaC1y
See the sshd(8) man page for some other authorized-keys options
you may want to use.
The exact entry you write into the forced command will depend
on the setup of your system. Note that the command that is
run is precisely as specified in the 'command=...' text, so
unless you want your users to always copy the same files each
time, you'll need to force running a shell script which can
examine the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable, verify
that it is a permissible command and if so, execute it.
Make sure the authorized-keys files and any containing
directories up to the root directory are readable but not
writable by the users.
An alternative method is to not permit your users to do the copy
themselves. Set up an area that your users can write to on the
staging server which is a mirror of the document tree on the
production server. Then set up a cron job to rsync from the staging
to the production server at regular intervals to copy over you users'
changes to production.
Even better: have your users check their files into CVS, and have the
production server check them out at regular intervals. That's a
method used on a certain website that should be familiar to all
readers here...

You do have to permit shell access, but you can use a nice restrictive shell. I can't remember where I found it originally (Byron - If you're reading this can you post the location), but there is a shell out there called scponly. Using this means that scp functions work ok but a user cannot actually login to the machine. This I hope will suit your purpose? If you can't find it on google, mail me and I'll hunt out the URL.
