[scponly] chroot group issues

There is an option to enable winscp-compat, which might help.

I have setup ssh chroot for solaris and have a user connecting with winscp 3 which works like a charm.

It's possible that either permissions are wrong for groups or a shared library is needed which is not in your chroot.

Cheers
