It's fun to play with -- but often there are better answers.  E.g.,
instead of POP3 over SSH, you might be better off doing POP3 over SSL.
Rather than sftp or (and this would be _really_ difficult, if you can do
it at all) ftp over SSH, it's a lot easier to just do scp.  scp is
universal, and there are even graphical front-ends.  See:
