    Are you trying to disable file transfer by not allowing SFTP and SCP?
    If so, it won't work. It is possible to copy files using only ssh. Try
    the commands below.

            cat LOCALFILE | ssh REMOTEHOST cat \>REMOTEFILE
            ssh REMOTEHOST cat REMOTEFILE >LOCALFILE

    The files are transfered using only ssh and fancy schmancy redirection.
