Hello,

To disable scp or SFTP file transfers on a RHEL or CoreOS system, delete or comment out the relevant line in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and then restart the sshd service.

Subsystem      sftp    /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

If you still need remote file transfers after disabling SFTP and SCP login, you can use rsync or another similar tool instead.

Let me know if you need additional help.
