After some effort I was able to setup a chroot environment to limit where WinSCP (in my case) can access and what commands it can execute. This allows it to access only an attached USB hard drive mounted through the GUI on my ddwrt router.

To accomplish this I use a forced command to run a script in the "Authorized keys" section of "Services"
Code:
command="/jffs/chroot.sh" ssh-rsa.....


This runs the script

Code:
                                                                                            #!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/dev/null
chroot /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/ /bin/ash
rm /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/dev/null



To setup the chroot

Code:

mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup
mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/bin
cd /bin
cp ash chattr chmod cp ln mkdir pwd  rmdir busybox chgrp chown echo ls mv rm sh /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/bin

mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/lib
cp /lib mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/lib
#this is probably more files than actually needed

mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/usr
mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/usr/bin
cp /usr/bin/scp /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/usr/bin

mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/usr/lib
cp /usr/lib/libshutils.so /tmp/mnt/sda1/PC\ Backup/usr/lib
