I agree -- FTP, Telenet not to mention gopher and a few others are going away just bcause of those issues. I don't use emacs and what I know about it would fit on the head of a pin. I tend to just stick with ssh2 at the bash prompt for anything sensitive. If I can't do it from the shell, I am likely to use webmin. I don't do that much remote file editing though. Being lazy and paranoid, I do my editing locally, mash it into a tar ball and use scp to put it where it goes. Then I can use ssh2 to unzip it and I'm done. Although, usually I'm not and have to repeat the process to correct errors, which, no doubt, is why Jason was asking for an editor that could transfer files.
