Qt Creator currently communicates via Trk (not requiring PC suite to be 
installed). In the source tree, under tests/manual/trklauncher, there is a 
little command line tool called trklauncher that can be used to transfer 
installation packages and install them. It should be much less work to  modify 
this tool to be able to copy arbitrary files.

I hope this helps,

Regards,
Friedemann
