It sounds like it should work.  If your current command line for the
icon is:

scp /local/file/name user at linux.server.com:/tmp/remote.file



...then you should be able to use:

exec scp /local/file/name user at linux.server.com:/tmp/remote.file



On the scp password issue, could you setup the system to use pre-shared
keys so they don't even have to provide a password?
