6 Usage Tips

In this chapter we will explain how to write GNU Rush configuration rules for several popular remote copy and version control system utilities. For this purpose, we assume the following setup:

• Users are allowed to use scp and rsync to upload files to the /incoming directory and to copy files to and from their ~/public_html directory. The actual location of the /incoming directory is /home/ftp, but that must be transparent to users, i.e. they use scp file host:/incoming (not host:/home/ftp/incoming) to upload files.
• Additionally, users may use sftp to manage their ~/public_html directory. In this case, to prevent users from accessing other directories, sftp-server is executed in a chrooted environment.
• The server runs three version control system repositories, whose corresponding root directories are:

  VCS	Repository Root
  cvs	/cvsroot
  svn	/svnroot
  git	/gitroot
