Agreed, but it essentially means to fix a server-side threat with changes (that mainly happen) on the client side. In instances of cross-organization data transfers with established multi-tenant servers, that might not be a practical option. On the other hand, if it were possible to set a server account's login shell or ForceCommand to an "scpd", and thus completely cut out the normal shell ... (Yes, I'm aware that that'd likely entail re(?)implementing the entire server-side wildcard expansion within that executable. Given that different-OS shells' wildcard expansion is a known source of confusion, that doesn't seem like the worst idea ever, though, if I may say so.)
