It would be fairly easy to support atomic replacement of files on
upload in the OpenSSH sftp client. However, it wouldn't work for scp or
other sftp clients.

Basically, the client would get an option (-a perhaps) to get/put that
up/downloaded into a temporary file and then renamed it into place. For
sftp, we would need to enable this only for servers that supported the
POSIX rename extension,
