That looks like it's just a specialized shell which only allows scp
and sftp. But that doesn't seem to be what the OP is looking for.  I
interpret his request as looking for a way to control either the
visibility or permissions to files differently depending on whether a
user is logged on via ssh or some other means.

Some more ideas may be found her

But this is setting up new restricted users instead of restricting
existing users when they are coming in through ssh.

I don't think that THAT can be done.  SSH doesn't have any per-user
configuration as far as I can see.  There may be a way for a shell to
know if it's talking over an SSH connection, but I'm not aware of it.
