Disallow new ssh connections for a while ?

Hello,

What is the best way to disallow new ssh connections for the duration of my session ?

I want to evade read/write collisions. Things work like that - one session put files on server, other copies these files and then deletes them. So in order to evade collision:

  • I check if there are no established connections.
  • Then I deny new connections temporarily.
  • Do the job.
  • Allow new connections again.

Maybe there are better ways to achieve the same result ?

thanks

You should configure the SSH deamon accordingly.
