OPTIONS
The -c sftp-shell option is executed as a shell command. Only the
sftp-server argument is allowed. Any other argument causes the ssh-
dummy-shell command to exit immediately.
DESCRIPTION
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-dummy-shell 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
The ssh-dummy-shell command returns the value of the command. If no
command is given, 0 will be returned on exit.
