RE: SSL Encrypiton
I'm thinking you want, as Rob suggested, scp.
You can think of it as the old rcp program, but it uses ssh.
It can even be used in ways ftp can not(?)
example:
> hostname
host1
> whoami
user1
> scp user2@host2:/tmp/file1 user2@host3:/tmp
(copies a file from one remote machine to another, securely)
