Can directory listing be disabled for sftp? A question arose in a group discussion: Can directory listing be disabled for sftp while still retaining read and write access? We are using openssh on ubuntu server 11.02 if that helps.

Remove Read access.

* Read access on a directory means that you can see a listing of files within that directory.
* Execute (X) access means you can cd into the directory or traverse it
* Write access means that you are able to add or change items within the directory.
