Who uploads stuff to this webserver? Just you? |

If you want secure copying, I'd look at sftp or scp, both part of the openssh |
| 18 |
package (iirc). They're command-line only, I think (there might be a UI |
| 19 |
client or kioslave for them) but they are secure. |

Also, just to clear it up, FISH isn't ftp-over-ssh (called secure FTP, which |
| 22 |
is also different from FTPS and SFTP). FISH only requires SSH, with no |
| 23 |
special server. |
