SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       ssh-dummy-shell [-c sftp-shell]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  -c  sftp-shell option is executed as a shell command.

  causes  the  ssh-dummy-shell command to exit immediately.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The ssh-dummy-shell command  provides  access  to  systems
       where  only  file  transfer  functionality  is  permitted.
       Users with file transfer only access can  have  ssh-dummyshell
  as  their  user  shell.   When executed without any
       options, the ssh-dummy-shell command waits for the user to
       press  any  key and exit. The only way to execute programs
       with the ssh-dummy-shell command is  to  specify  them  by
       using  the  -c option.  Even then, sftp-server is the only
       argument allowed.

EXIT STATUS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The ssh-dummy-shell command returns the value of the  command.
  If no command is given, 0 will be returned on exit.
