Actually, these days, it's better to set up your own ssh server. As far as update operations, since I finished the ssh `wedge' in pkg_add, a lot of operations are now ways more efficient over ssh than they were over ftp, since they use one single connection over which to do everything. pkg_add -u is really blazingly fast over it.
