Bollocks.
You're going to compromise your system's security because of some other
site's brain-dead policies?
http://www.linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/ssh-clients
...there are clients for any and all platforms, including clients which
can be run from floppy or java VMs.
The other possible hitch is that outbound port 22 traffic is blocked, in
which case you may want to set up an ssh port on 80 or another common
HTTP port (81, 88, 8000, 8080, 8081), or, if an authenticating proxy is
being used, find a way to tunnel IP over port 80.
If that's still not an option, then have her get a modem and dial
directly to your system or a non-fuxnored ISP, or have her negotiate
with her employer, though why she'd need to access an external system
during work hours might be a sticking point.
