In case you were not aware the SSH instances that I know of all include
the scp utility. This may be just what you need. scp is used much like
rcp except with the opposite security implications! :-) I find it to
actually easier to use than ftp. An additional side effect is that if
you are using ssh to connect from system A to B, then B to C and C to D
you can actually scp from A to D (and vice versa) without having to
specify any of the systems in the middle, even if they are on relatively
hidden networks! The ssh 'magic' tunnel that gets setup with each hop
makes the whole file copy operation go smooth as silk. Very nice.
To use scp you do NOT need to carry out option D below. It is much more
like your option A. Check it out!
