The SSH setup would be instead of FTP I think. I still have this on my
todo list.
I am not a ssh expert, but the way I understand it, that you will
be connecting only over the SSH port, and everything you send will be
encrypted to reduce the possibility of snooping. FTP and Telnet, et all
send logins and passwords in the clear usually, not a good thing for security
concerns. Given the possibilities for security holes in your destination
machine, you should try to do as much as you can on your Firewall/Router setup.
