Hi Charles,

from my understanding, scpjailer is a bare minimum chroot environment. 
It doesn't
contain sftp-server. For scp operation, no additional binaries are 
needed, in
contrast to sftp.

I'm not even sure if it would work to copy the sftp-server-binary to the 
jail, because
scpjailer is linked against a different libc than the sshd binary (the 
ucLinux I think).
Well, I never tried it out by myself.
