Fine grain? Access is permitted only to those files and directories that
your user would have access to via ssh anyway. I called it "lightweight"
because there are a few things you can't do (set up links, for example)
and because it is definitely not designed for multi-user use. Accessed
as I described it, via "Places" it is even lighter weight.

I think you're right.
