I'm trying to use jenkins to make sftp get of files from remote server of my software support costumers.

The default behavior of publish-over-ssh plugin is to make an sftp put of the files to remote servers. I would like to make sftp get to bring files from remote servers.

This will agree with ours same security policies. We don't want to pass the jenkins server password to ours costumers but we have yours servers password.

I've made a git patch (publish-over-ssh.patch) to bring this feature to the version 1.9 but I would love to see it in the main line of this plugin.
