[scponly] Suggestion: permit ~ as directory

Hello,

When I connect over SCP, and wish to upload a file into the home directory,
I do so with this instruction:

scp file.ext user at host:~




However, with scponly, I noticed this functionality is not preserved.


The way to enact this instruction with user who have scponly as their shell:
scp file.ext user at host:.




If you do:

scp file.ext user at host:~

You'll get the following output:

invalid characters in scp command!
here:~
try using a wildcard to match this file/directory
lost connection
