Feature request: globus cat or get/put

Use case: I want to copy a small text file from an LCF to/from my laptop. I would normally use scp for this use case, but certain LCFs don't support control master and having to enter my PIN and OTP every. single. time. is maddening.

I wonder if there is a clever way to do this for globus endpoints running the HTTP server, without requiring gcp, for the cat/get case.

Another possibility, is to require running gcp on the laptop, and do some clever scripting around this to make it more seemless. Could involve staging through a directory that is shared with globus. Perhaps inside the cli is not the place for this, it could be done with wrapper script that handles my particular paths and gcp config. Just thought I would start a discussion because this seems like such a common use case that globus could help streamline. Of course doing this through the Web GUI is not so bad... I just miss my simple command line scp a lot.
