Search the n/g for other posted solutions. Some mentioned are RSYNC
(can use SSH) and look at the post "PuTTY 0.54 is released: SFTP UNIX
port supports reput/reget?" There is source code for PSFTP from
Simon's site that should compile under Linux. His version of SFTP,
called PSFTP', support the reget/reput that will support the
functionality you require. Although it's not SCP, it will do what you
need.
