I bet White Knight could do it. You would just whip up a script that logged in
as you, ran Kermit/Layers/whatever to transfer the stuff, and then boogie out.
A buddy of mine has WK scripts to do things much more complicated than this,
so I can't _promise_ it could but I would be flabbergasted if it couldn't.
