Currently, our cluster does not allow ssh to compute nodes for users

that does the block. Whn trying ssh, this is the message returned:
Access denied by pam_slurm_adopt: you have no active jobs on this node
Connection closed by 10.135.242.188 port 22
However, we would like to allow sftp on a specific compute node for
specific users.
Any idea on how to do that?
SFTP uses the SSH protocol, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_file_transfer_program
With pam_slurm_adopt you can only connect with SSH to a node where you
have a running job, which is a Good Thing.
What's the usage scenario for needing file transfer access to a compute
node running someone else's job?
