Encrypted File Transfer
(courtesy of Tom Buskey <tom@buskey.name>)

    Suppose you have an ssh tunnel, and you want to copy a file to the
    remote machine. You could just scp it directly, but that opens up
    another connection. The goal is to re-use the existing connection.
    You can use netcat to do this:

    When you SSH in, add -L 31000:127.0.0.1:31000

    On the remote:

        nc -lvnp 31000 127.0.0.1 > file

    On the local:

        nc -v -w 2 127.0.0.1 31000 < file

    No extra overhead. TCP takes care of error correction. SSH has
    already encrypted the pipe.
