Mat,

Will the SFTP access include rsync over SSH, or SSHFS drive mounting? I've
dealt with SFTP-only filesystems at Red Hat for years, and it's much less
painful when you can use rsync instead of ftp/scp, or mount an ssh volume
to interact more directly with the remote filesystem. (Both are MUCH easier
than running scripts inside Jenkins to work around SSH and getfacl
limitations, as I do today when I need to move stuff around on
download.eclipse.org or archive.eclipse.org.)

Will that be allowed?

Thx,
