From my local machine I can copy files from a remote machine

    scp remote:/some/file/path ~

But what if I'm already SSHed into the remote machine? Can I do something like this

    ssh remote
    cd /some/file
    scp path local:~

where `local` somehow resolves to the machine I SSHed *from*. This would of course be possible if the local machine is running an SSH server and the remote is configured to connect to it, but that isn't always an option.

Is something like this possible?
