    If I recall correctly, scp works by connecting to the other machine by
    ssh and then invoking the copy of scp on the other side. If you
    change the permissions of scp so that the appropriate user (sshd or
    the logging in user, I can't remember) cannot execute it on the server
    side, then clients shouldn't be able to scp. This has the side effect
    of stopping server-side users from using scp too, which is probably
    what you want.
