Another option is to add a user (run /usr/sbin/adduser bob). The adduser utility will prompt you for a password, but you can also use the 'passwd bob' command to set the password. Then, you should be able to SCP files using those credentials. Additionally, you may need make that user part of the 'admin' group (/usr/sbin/usermod -G admin bob, I think).
