Okay thanks for letting me know.  I am trying to allow only secure FTP logins
but dont want general accounts for each user.  it would be nice to have
accounts that only have FTP access and access to specific directories.  can
you suggest a way that I can do this while still only allowing SFTP connections?

cheers,

Noah
