I have now downloaded scpjailer and used the --useradd command on it. My
main aim was to get this working with SFTP and using (I think) the tip
you gave:
mkdir /home/scponly/usr/lib
ln -s /bin/sftp-server /home/scponly/usr/lib/

I got one user working... Don't ask me how though because when I went
through the:
scpjailer --useradd 
process again its not working. It seems to me (I'm probably wrong) that
its something to do with the password. Do I just do a normal:
passwd username 

Or do I have to run a special command to set the users password?

Makes sense. Sorry was a little confused at the time on how to find out
why my sftp client wasn't connecting

Many thanks.
