ssl is broken/breakable

if you want to have secure ftp ... no sniffable passwd or data
from either windoze or *nix ...

debian# scp -p  ftp.server.com:/pub/somedir/data.xxx ~
        - use a gui if scp is too complicated
        or doesn't do what you need like copy foo*.* 

- or -

ssh login into the orther server and run your normal mount
commands and copy data over ssh ...
        - normally client mount the ftp server
        and servers do not mount clients

        debian# ssh ftp-server
        ftp-server# mount debian:/home/you  /home

        but for this case, it'd seem silly
        and is a bad idea

        - or -

        ftp-server# ssh debian
        debian# mount ftp-server:/home/you /home

        but why would you do that ??? 

        - or -  dozen other ways

windoze# filezilla  - point-n-click-heaven
        http://www.Linux-Sec.net/SSH/client.gwif.html#SFTP

ftp.server.com -- just install sshd
