Create a .netrc or use sftp/ssh and script it.

I have a need for an account that allows a user to ftp to a specific
directory and pull a single file. I don't want them to be able to
change to another directory or pull other files. Also, this directory
contains files that others will need access to so I can't lock it down
to this one user.

They should also not be able to telnet. I tried to make their shell
/usr/bin/ftp in the /etc/passwd file but then they couldn't ftp in so I
put it back.

Any ideas for this? Thanks.
