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
Vilius

You should configure the SSH deamon accordingly.
