I think you want kermit:

http://www.kermitproject.org/

apt-cache search kermit

Whether it would help the OP or not, I don't know. Haven't used it in
a really long time. I probably should check it out, except scp does the
job nicely enough for me, and I think tunneling should take care of the
OP's needs here.

One of these days I'll get someone to pay me
to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C.
Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef,
run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define,
and stop all integer size bugs with my bare cast.
