We have a security requirement (which is common with Linux) to prevent ssh login for root (setting PermitRootLogin to no). One problem we find, as system administrators, we like to use secure copy (remote file copy program, scp) files between systems. However this will not work for any root level files, since scp uses ssh to copy files over a network. Does anyone have a suggested solution or better way around this issue?
