In this particular case, I'd think the client
could tell that a .BAT file was not a .c file.


Downloading 1000's of files resulting from some HPC calculation
it would be easy to overlook an unwanted file.

To be clear, I'd meant the client could to it automatically.

To be clear, the scp client does finename matching already by default. But if there is a recursive download (or a regex matching the malicious file), this might not help either.

Not even using sftp, if the file is sneaked inside of the downloaded directory. But breaking scp protocol to do that is a matter of inserting one command, while SFTP requires significantly more work and the downloads can be properly audited (unlike scp, which is just a command on the server).
