as I stated in my posting scp does not support REGET. To be more
detailed: the scp that comes with open-ssh does not. psftp that comes
with putty (there is a unix-port for it) does support it, but does not
support files>2GB.

VPN would be a possibility, but also a very heavy weapon for simply
transfering a simple file. Installing pptpd or whatever on many server
and maintaining the user, doing the routing whatever ... its just a bit
too much of work, when - what I want really do is:

downloadsecure -reget user@host:/file ./
