It took me quite awhile to find this buried in the History link (Black navigation bar on the website, last link on right). I may have missed it, but I don't see this information anywhere else in the documentation. It looks like you addressed the issue, and never got a chance to sync up the documentation. Please let me know if I am mistaken about this, but I tried it and it worked!
For those who are reading this and having the same issue, this was a feature added in version 4.2.2 beta back on 2009-06-28.
The release notes read...
New switches -append
and -resume
to scripting commands put
and get
to append file/resume transfer respectively.
