scponly has been removed from Debian packages. I'm using scp to pull backups from a Debian 8 server and for previous Debian servers I've set the login shell to scponly in order to restrict the backup user. What is a good replacement shell for scponly, or what configuration can be made to sshd to provide security equivalent to scponly?

Maybe rssh with allowscp uncommented in /etc/rssh.conf is a good solution? – RjOllos Oct 03 '15 at 17:35

Thanks @jenny-d. In addition to using rssh I've restricted based on hostname as described in the answer. – RjOllos Oct 05 '15 at 20:59
