Not sure what you're asking.  scp can have a remote file as either source
or destination (or both, as a matter of fact).

If you want to run the scp command from the Linux machine, you'll need to
set up sshd on Cygwin.  See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README around
line 104 (sorry, no better pointer -- Corinna, can we have some sections
in that file?) for details on setting it up.
