SSH V 2.x supports sftp which is secure and works from the cmdl much like
an ordinary ftp client. However, SSH V 2.x is only available free for non-commercial
use. You can do some port forewarding tricks to get normal ftp to work over
ssh, but most people won't expend the effort to do something that's not
automatic. SSH V 1.x does not support ftp except as a foreward, but is available
completely free through the OpenSSH project. However, it does have scp which
will allow you to copy files, but I don't know how handy this is compared to
an ftp type interface since I've never tried it.
