[Nottingham] chroot-ed file transfer

Folks,

For chroot-ed file transfer to/from a server so that a user can only
see their own space (and nothing else)...

There appears to be easily used:

ProFTPD
http://www.proftpd.org/

for ftp and ftps (SSL/TLS);


OpenSSH
http://www.openssh.com/

for sftp (ftp over ssh)


There's also WebDAV that can be run on Apache for file transfer over
https and http.


Just to complete the list: What is there for scp and rsync over ssh?

Taking a look at using rssh, that looks to be a maintenance nightmare
to chroot the user access.

Is there anything else that is /easy/ ?


Cheers,
Martin
