That's interesting. Didn't think of that. 'rsync' supports delta
transfers, too.

For SFTP regets and reputs, check out PSFTP at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

I haven't tried to compile the *NIX source for PSFTP yet, but Simon
says (yes, a bad play-on-words) it should work (tested under Linux).

Also, see Simon's respone to my recent post:
"Re: PuTTY 0.54 is released: SFTP UNIX port supports reput/reget?"
