Nope.

foo:bar is the rsh/csh syntax for host:file, so no go here for DOS paths
with drive letter.

That works for the \foo\bar path on the source side, but it will
expanded incorrectly on the host side which will think that the new
file has to get the name /target/\test\file.txt.
It works as you like if the call explicitely uses the destination file name:
scp '\test\file.txt' host:/target/file.txt

Sure you can. Create a script called "scp" which is in Maven's $PATH
before /usr/bin.
