Hi brian, thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, I guess this solution only work in the case I have an account on both machine, which is not the case since I'm trying to login to one of the fedora mirrors (I don't have account on any of those servers). That is why I was looking for something like an anonymous account but via SSH. But yam seems to be a good alternative solution since it should be able to ftp/http to connect to mirrors.
