I tried to sell the OpenSSH team on implementing inline file transfer with zmodem once, but they were not interested.

If there is one thing I've hankered for more often than not... it's been the ability to send a file over my existing SSH connection.

Why this isn't something that isn't supported out of the box is beyond me. Doesn't SSH have a control channel? Couldn't it support this without text mode hacks?

SSH has both control channels and escape codes. They could add this to the \n~? codes.
