I would recommend just running sshd on multiple ports and use scp. Just
add an additional "Port 24" (or whatever port # you want to use and is not
used by another service and not being forwarded) to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and restart ssh.  Have your users use "scp -P <port>" - or even alias this
for them if they have problems remembering.
