Please try v5h of LargeFile.vim (available at
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#LARGEFILE).

I haven't tested it using scp/ftp myself, but I've put some code in it
that should:

* uses getfsize(); if the file is large, s:LargeFile() will do its
usual thing (turning off syntax, etc)
* if getfsize() returned -2, then s:LargeFile() will do its usual thing
* if getfsize() returned -1, as generally happens with ftp://.... and
scp://... , then after the file has loaded, it will check if
line2byte(line("$")) is large, and if so, s:LargeFile() will be called
with force to treat it as a large file.
