OpenSSH sget/sput suggestion

[CRX Driver]

Not sure if this has ever been suggested before as a feature request, but I 
am getting off my lazy a** and sending this Email to your list.  Hopefully 
you will think it is a wonderful idea.

I am forever using the wonderful OpenSSH on many systems and have done so 
for many years.  But I often find myself wanting to transfer files while 
ssh'ed into another system.

If I could just have a way to transfer a file back to me with something like 
"sget" or "sput" WHILE I am ssh'ed into another machine, THAT would save a 
tremendous amount of time.  As it is now, you have to type long names and 
paths and a password again each time with a separate scp session.

Imagine this:

ssh user at machine.com
cd /home/user
ls
rm junk
sget logfile


(and "logfile" just immediately gets scp'ed to my local machine)

I imagine "scp" or "sget" would somehow open a tunnel back to the client 
side for file transfer.  Or, I suppose it could be triggered in the client 
with a special keystroke while ssh'ed into a remote site.
