What is rush

rush is:

GNU Rush is a restricted shell designed for sites providing only limited access to resources for remote users. The main binary executable is configurable as a user login shell, intended for users that only are allowed remote login to the system at hand.

A notification service can be implemented individually for each provided client service, using the TCPMUX support found within xinetd, or inetutils-inetd.

The standard use is to create access to a chrooted target directory, typically providing arbitrary combinations of scp, sftp, rsync, cvs, svn, and git.
