With the basic configuration that's true -- but SSH can be configured in such a way that only one "command" can be run, and with a minor patch to sshd it's possible to set up file transfers only and to not ever allow general shell access. I've done this with rsync so people can update their web sites on production machines while having FTP access only on a less important system, and with a wee bit of innovation it'll work for plain scp too. -- Greg A.
