I would like to propose the author add a section for chroot sftp and ways to replicate rsync-like behavior, thus allowing rapid file transfer without providing a shell. [1] This is useful in situations where automated file transfers and backups are required and minimizing risk of shell access is desired.

This specific example can be used to set up public semi-anonymous file sharing without providing shell access. there is a working live demo of the sftp server that you can play around with using lftp to replicate rsync like behavior.
