Any ideas on how? I have read that sftp supports appending but cannot find it anywhere in the man pages or via the all knowing Google.

I use rsync via ssh for that. I wasn't aware that scp supports it but I'll do some digging.

Well according to what I have read scp does not but sftp does.

Can you share what you have with the rest of us? Why not use rsync?

What I have? I am not sure what you mean by that. Rsync, sure... How?

By "what you have" I mean where did you read that sftp was capable of it? rsync is very easy and works much like scp:

rsync -av -e ssh remoteserver:/directory/file localfile

It may need the --append switch but I don't think so.

$ man rsync
