Asking again as my question (and its workarounds for the removal of a
direct SSH login) appear to have been lost in the haze of panic. :)

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,
