I doubt the latest assertion, the impacket tooling is well known for executing code over various interfaces. I have no idea how it works, but I imagine it would be difficult to truely prevent exec over smb.

Fwiw though, windows now supports openssh via a powershell command to install (e.g it’s not some third party binary). I’m not sure if it supports sftp, but it may be worth looking into.

I'll have to give execing over smb another look.

I did try using OpenSSH, but there were issues with using Powershell through eshell over TRAMP. It expects a POSIX shell. I also tried using Cygwin to run OpenSSH, but that didn't work well for my needs.
