I'm migrating a Debian server to Ubuntu 16.04. One of the packages on the Debian server is scponly which acts as a shell and permits ssh connections for scp purposes only (not login or running anything other than the scp binary). Details can be found here. This package has been on the Debian through at least 2 physical server upgrades already, countless OS upgrades, and probably dates from about 2007.
scponly is not in any 16.04 repository, and isn't compiled on launchpad. Whilst I am quite capable of installing it from source, this got me wondering whether in the last 10+ years there is a better way of configuring ssh to permit scp commands only, that is more Ubuntu 16.04 friendly, and less based in the dim and distant past. Any ideas?
