files, every thing neat and secure, or even tunnel insecure connections like ftp or pop ...
Well, I already use SSH for all connections over "insecure" networks. The problem is that I have to provide FTP on a production machine, for there are external scripts pushing data onto the machine.
I have no way of changing this - these scripts are run by different companies and part of their systems. I cannot force them to use ssh, so I can only try to secure our FTP services. well ... write a script opening an ssh connection from somemachine:someport to ftphost:21 and then using this "tunnel" in a way
