Just a warning here: scp the command won't go away, but it switched to
using sftp as underlying protocol in the latest openssh version (8.9)

I'm assuming scp (the protocol) will eventually get disabled, and we
should probably support sftp:// instead -- curl also has support so it
should be the same

That should be possible, curl the command has --key / --pubkey to
provide the keypair
(since 7.16.2 according to the documentation)

From a quick grep it looks like the curlopt equivalents are
CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE
CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE
which should be usable with file path? I haven't tried.

Not sure but that might be different with sftp as well, might be worth
testing.
