I've got an odd situation that may not have a solution, but I figured I'd
ask anyway.
Due to corporate requirements, my company's firewall policy blocks outgoing
file transfers (FTP puts), but allows FTP gets and outgoing telnet. I don't
like using telnet for the obvious reasons, so I suggested they enable
outgoing SSH.
They did for a few weeks, but killed it recently. When I asked why, they
said it was because people can copy files out using scp without the firewall
being able to monitor it.
So my question is: Is there any way, on a firewall-type level, to block scp
traffic, while allowing ssh and slogin? This would allow them to stop file
copies, but let secure shells go through.
Thanks,
Wade
