Why? SSH/SCP works much better/more securely if accessing servers across
the internet. No need to mess with VPNs etc.
But if you need to use SSH, I do know how this might work (i.e. you need
to start (e.g.) "cp" on the target via SSH), but I don't know any pascal
code that uses SSH.

An important point about SSH is that it separates authentication (i.e.
password submission, certificate checking etc.) from normal traffic. So
leaving aside the desirability of not passing passwords around "in
clear", there's no longer any need for the client to parse a login
prompt from the server, and to some extent the client can retain a
password once entered and use it for multiple sessions.
