It's something that a systems programmer would need to set up because it listens on a privileged port (22). It _is_ possible to start your own sshd process that listens on a different port, but that might be viewed with some suspicion by the support staff. > And compared to my PHP-driven FTP scripting would it be complementary or a > faster or slower replacement? I would say that it would be similar in speed, but would likely consume more CPU compared to non-secure FTP. If you compare it to FTPS it should be close.
