Is it possible to let a user write to a directory but not access the

The file is being transferred via scp and after the transfer I don't
want them to be able to re-fetch or even get a directory listing.

Hi,

If user has no shell access I suppose the problem is that the user might be able to overwrite an existing file. The problem is what owner/permissions/flags the files will have after transfer.

I don't know if this will work, but check if setting append only flag on a directory might do. I would expect the append only flag on a directory to allow only creating new files, so existing files cannot be overwritten.

Other flags might also be required, also check what you can do with ACL and extended attributes.
