I think I already said that some time ago, but this
is just a pity CMake "file" command does not support UPLOAD:

file(UPLOAD file url TIMEOUT timeout] [STATUS status] [LOG log])

the DOWNLOAD counter part is based on libcurl which supports scp
such that it would be possible to portably copy file using a CMake script.

If some of you think the feature is interesting I may file a feature request
and may be try a patch.
