I didn't know the answer a few minutes ago, so I looked:
"wput" -> does ftp including tls, but will not do scp :-(
"sftp" -> no explicit option to resume :-(
"scp" -> no explicit option to resume :-(

Next I looked on the Internet:
https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=resume%20scp

It appears people tend to recommend using rsync, like this:
rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh local_file
address@hidden:remote_file

I haven't tested the above line myself - post back whether it works.

Cheers,
Jan
