Question

I want grant user rights to copy a specific file from a remote server via SSH. And I do not want to give him any opportunity to execute something else on a remote server.

I have an access to a remote machine but I’m not an adimistrator, and I want to give another user possibility to copy specific file but nothing else.

Is there any way to sign a script in linux to avoid modification of this script or something similar that could help?
