I'm sorry, but this is simply not possible with any existing
implementation of SSH.  You'd have to re-write the clients to disallow
copying from the remote host.  I suspect this would be a difficult
task.

Or, well, it might be possible to implement that feature in rssh, but
I have no intention of doing it...  I'm basically done working on this
thing.  There are a few unresolved issues with it, which I may get
around to dealing with eventually.

Basically, I don't have a lot of time to deal with this these days.
I've moved to South Korea, where I teach English, and I've only just
gotten my Internet connection after having been here for 5 months.
I've also lost my CVS repository for rssh, though I can probably
recover that with a little effort, or I could start another from the
source tarball.  My motivation level to work on rssh these days is
extremely low...

In fact, if someone would like to take over maintaining it, I'd be
happy to give it up.

I sent someone on this list a tarball for rssh 2.1.2, which contains a
small fix for using rssh with certain clients, as well as support for
cvs and rsync/rdist.  If that person it still tuned in, and still has
that tarball, I'd greatly appreciate it if they would send it to me.

Thanks
