[Boost-testing] regression.py - manual operation questions

I need some help with regression.py - assume I know nothing about Python and 
have neither the time nor the inclination to learn it right now :)

Two machine configuration:
    - Machine A connected to the Internet
    - Machine B not connected to the Internet, but reachable from Machine A 
via a VPN tunnel
    - Regression testing to be done on Machine B

Here's what I need to do:
    - On Machine A, download the latest regression.py and Boost tarball but 
don't unpack it
    - Push those files through the VPN tunnel to Machine B
    - On Machine B, do a complete regression run, but don't download the 
tarball at the start, and don't upload results at the end.
    - Push the results through the VPN tunnel to Machine A
    - On Machine B, clean up everything that was uploaded or created.
    - On Machine A, upload the results

What options(s), command(s), etc, do I need to pass to regression.py to do 
each of the steps above, or how do I accomplish them most easily without 
using regression.py?

Assume that before each run there's nothing on Machine B except for Python.
