-[Excerpted from the README:]  "scponly" is an alternative "shell" (of sorts)
-for system administrators who would like to provide access to remote users to
-both read and write local files without providing any remote execution
-privileges.  Functionally, it is best described as a wrapper to the
-tried-and-true ssh suite.
-
-scponly validates remote requests by examining the third argument passed to the
-shell upon login.  (The first argument is the shell itself, and the second is
--c.)  The only commands allowed are "scp", "sftp-server" and "ls".  Arguments
-to these commands are passed along unmolested.
