If you use Quanta to manage your web pages then you can easily synchronise to
your web server using sftp The only thing you need on the server is to be
running an ssh server.
Konqueror is also real nice to use with sftp. Just enter
fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/folder in the URL line of Konqueror
('fish' is included by default in Mandrake, but I am not sure if Suse includes
it)
