Author How do I setup anonymous SFTP?

I have been searching around on the internet about anonymous sftp.
Some saying it's impossible b/c given that SFTP is a secured media and
anonymous with null password will just doesn't work. Some saying that
using RSSH.

Now I have configured RSSH (with sftp, ssh, scp). I created a user
called anonymous with a blank login passwd. I also have setup chroot
jail with the RSSH installed.

So the question now is, how can I utilize the RSSH to restrict user to
chroot jail if my anonymous user is just going to run sftp from
remotely to my sftp server?

For example, right now when I sftp to this sftp server as anonymous, I
am still able to "cd /".

Please advise, thanks!

What problem are you actually trying to solve that you feel this is the
ideal solution? Usually, if something is never done a certain way, it's
because there's an established method that you may not know about, which
is superior.
