pkg_add does support scp for downloading packages, though there aren't any mirrors that use it. See pkg_add(1): Each package name may be specified as a filename (which normally consists of the package name itself plus the ``.tgz'' suffix) or a URL referring to FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, or SCP locations. The following examples are valid: pkg_add -v ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.7/packages/i386/m4-1.4.tgz pkg_add -v scp://login@host/usr/ports/packages/sparc/all/tcl-8.4.7.tgz -- Anthony J. Bentley
