But I have never tried to use the private key that was tied to a command on the other machine with scp, so I do not know if scp will work with a key that is only allowed to run one program on the remote machine. (You can not "login" in using that key.) What I was thinking of was:
scp file to remote machine
ssh to remote machine witch triggers a command on the remote machine.
From the sshd man page:
command="command"
Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is
used for authentication. The command supplied by the user
(if any) is ignored. The command is run on a pty if the
client requests a pty; otherwise it is run without a tty.
If an 8-bit clean channel is required, one must not request
a pty or should specify no-pty. A quote may be included in
the command by quoting it with a backslash. This option might
be useful to restrict certain public keys to perform just a
specific operation. An example might be a key that permits
remote backups but nothing else. Note that the client may
specify TCP and/or X11 forwarding unless they are explicitly
prohibited. The command originally supplied by the client is
available in the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable.
Note that this option applies to shell, command or subsystem
execution.
