I may very well be missing something here, but isn't anonymous sftp kind of an oxymoron? The users would have to log in - just like they do with ftp. They're logged in, but they don't get a shell. Might it work to create a user 'anonymous' (or sftp) with a no-password login, then run sshd in a chroot jail, kind of the way anonymous ftp works? Or if this is a known group of users, you could distribute the ssh keys. -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
