Regarding the above thread and the above linked thread...

Having the "ssh -MS ..." is nice, but is NOT the same feature. I've been
meaning to impliment the feature referenced in the above thread for over a
year now.

There's no reason I shouldn't be able to be in the middle of some work on a
shell and put or get a file - though instead of making a ~S, I would have
implimented it in the ~C cli interface.

For example, it would be great to be doing something on a remote box, realize
I need the 4-line script in my local ~/bin and do a ~C, sput ~/bin/script,
quit, ./script.

Or have some long shell-pipeline and then redirect it to a file and then do ~C
sget file, quit, and continue working.
