As many of you know, I try to manage a number of web pages.  This is
impossible to do from on campus where I work, because of teaching, lab
supervision, and a lot of face to face work.

I am forced to do all of my research, programming and file transfers from
home.  I just got my faculty exchange computer, a very robust Powerbook,
using OS 10.3.4.  I have two ways of working home-to-campus remote: I can
connect over my wireless broadband through VPN or I can do a telephone wire
modem connection.

My campus is concerned with security, and while I know that using a classic
FTP poses few big problems in either of the connections mentioned, things
can change.  I would ideally like to use a secure shell client (SSH), with
properly installed keys, etc.  This would allow some flexibility and more
security.  After a relative failure using FUGU (I cannot even get this to
query for a password...and I could net intall keys), I wonder if there is
something out there that might work with a Mac, and will not make my fragile
humanities brain think it is struggling with shell level strings.
