PSRemote Challenge

I have a need to copy files from a remote server to another server that will be a scheduled task to run every hour. The files can be quite large so I found that 'robocopy' is the better utility for this case. I have read the post for how to utilize it within powershell and it works great locally.

The challenge:

The remote server is in a DMZ part of a cluster while the other server is located in another subnet (local).

Communication is only one way, from Local to DMZ. (I can copy files up to the server, retrieve files from the server, but I am not able to copy files from the remote server to the local server)

I thought of ps-remote, which works great, I have it configured and I'm able to create sessions, browse, administer etc....

When I launch the robocopy script, it runs it locally of course, but what I need it to do is send those files back to the local server. Is there a possibility to have the script run locally, connect to the remote server with credentials, check for a specific mount point or drive letter if not connect to other server in cluster (I'm reading cluster cmdlts for this task), get the files copied to the local server and repeat the process every hour (task is fine or invoked by a script)

Thanks,
