If you want secure copying, I'd look at sftp or scp, both part of the openssh package (iirc). They're command-line only, I think (there might be a UI client or kioslave for them) but they are secure. Also, just to clear it up, FISH isn't ftp-over-ssh (called secure FTP, which is also different from FTPS and SFTP). FISH only requires SSH, with no special server. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Files_transferrer_over_shell_protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFTP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP#FTP_over_SSH http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCP Robert -- rkd on irc.freenode.net https://launchpad.net/people/rkd (also the source for my public key)
