yep .. that's what I use to get/put files between my system and the pov 
server ... both are "nix" machines. The ssh is just used to establish a 
secure connection, but the underlaying protocol is ftp to transfer 
files. BTW: there are windows versions of the the same tool set ... 
stelnet, sftp (etc) that I used when I was exclusive on a doze box
