[NTLUG:Discuss] how do I use openssh to ftp/telnet?

[Cox, Chris]

Let me add to this a bit...
You'll need sshd on the server and an ssh (see below) client on the client
end.
On the client side you can use:
   ssh     instead of   telnet
   scp                  rcp
   ssh                  rsh
   sftp                 ftp

Ssh also allows you to tunnel other protocols pretty effectively, so
you can tunnel POP... shoot I've even tunneled HTTP with it.
It will run X securely as well and will put things like your
DISPLAY into your environent as you hop from system to system (cool).

Hope this helps...as mentioned, there's lots of docs on this stuff,
Chris

SSH is like telnet but encrypted.  There is an sftp that works over an ssh 
connection, but I personally prefer scp.  scp is secure copy and like rcp 
where the syntax is 'scp source dest' where source or dest can be 
user at host:/path/to/file  for example

$ scp source.c madhat.unspecific.com:src/

this would copy the file source.c form by current directory to the host 
madhat.unspecific.com using my logged in user to the directory ~/src
if I had a different user name, I could add the user@

ssh is just 'ssh host' and it will prompt for a password.  If it is a 
different user, you can use 'ssh user at host'

basic ideas...  as always it is recommended you read the man pages.
