Thanks for the windows ssh products.  initial googling had left me with
the (obviously mistaken) impression that gui based file transfers woer
going to be an issue.

I have to admit that since digging a bit into the various chrooted ftp
servers out there, I really like that idea.  I think it is a shame that
the openssh team apparently does not see this sort of functionality as
part of the scope of the project.  At least that is what I recall from a
thread awhile ago.  In my mind, the ability to restrict a user to an
area of a filesystem combined with pki authentication would be the ideal
solution and a good free client of course.
