SFTP seems to ignore permissions

[Mark McBride]

I am trying to use sftp for a drop box type of application.

 

Using a common userid and password, allow known entities to PUT files on
my server. But not allow them get GET the files that are there, not to
overwrite on the files.

 

However, sftp seems to ignore that file permissions that are on the
files! I change the permissions to 000 and a client can still GET the
file and overwrite it with a new file!

 

What can I do to configure the sftp-server to behave the way I need?

 

Thanks
