  If SSH for DOS is the same as ssh for linux, scp would 
be included in the package.  ssh (secure shell) is 
basically a secure form of telnet, and scp (secure copy) 
is like a secure form of ftp.

  If your web host supports ssh/scp, you can use that
instead of ftp to upload files to your web site.  The 
following command,

$ scp -v file.ext [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/file.ext

will prompt for password and transfer the file.  The 
entire transaction will be encrypted, so any potential
packet sniffers will be out of luck.  (The -v switch
is just for verboseness, so you'll see lots of
debugging info scroll up your screen.  Leave it off if 
you already know everything works as it should.)

  There are also interactive, recursive, and batch 
modes, among others.
