Use the more secure SSH server then SFTP into the Mac at port 22

Sharing->Remote Login (I guess its the correct translation) It's one topic below Web-Sharing.

Be aware that if you have a sftp runnign you will possibly provide ssh too. If you want user to be only able to connect for filetrasnfer you need a sftp only chel, everthing is a huge risk.

Thanks for the alert. Yes, I guess its a risk with FTP. So, is there a way to restrict connections from a country (India) only ? So, when someone connects, it checks who.is for the IP and if country code is "IN", then it grants access or else connects are denied...

Some thing like that would greatly minimize the risk... :)
