I then give the public key file to my clients and use a script to encrypt a file on thier computers and send it to my server where it is decrypted using my secring file.

The file encryption should be pretty secure, there might be problems with your file transfer, though. How do you get the script to send the file to your server?

I would probably use ssh or scp for that (and give every client a different key for logging in to your machine).
