[ale] Dumb question - file transfer over SSH?

[Jerry Z. Yu]

	scp, the companion tool in most SSH packages, is the tool you 
need.
to upload:	scp localfile userid at remote.server:/remote/server/directory
to download:	scp userid at remote.server:/remote/server/directory localfile

if the remote site has sftp enabled, you can use 'sftp userid at remote.server', then it works like a command line ftp.

cuteFTP pro has support for SFTP. I tried it, it works just like you are 
using those ftp GUI.
