I have setup an SFTP server for external access and that works, however internally we want users also to be able to use RSYNC to the server but at the same disable SSH and allow SFTP for external access!<br />
<br />
How can I achieve this?<br />

Below is the SSH Demon config.<br />
<br />
<br />
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp<br />
<br />
Now scroll to the end of the config file and add the following to create the match rule:<br />
<br />
Match Group sftponly<br />
ChrootDirectory %h<br />
ForceCommand internal-sftp<br />
X11Forwarding no<br />
AllowTcpForwarding no

SFTP and RSync on RHEL 7

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

SSH / Telnet Software

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
