sharing - that's not what I need for now. Or, if the explanation is
short, share it?
If you have sshd running on the web server (likely) then by default it
will have an sftp server enabled and you can just use sftp to upload files.
The regular ftp protocol sends usernames and passwords in plain text
over the wires and isn't the best way of doing this.

Thanks, Paul. I just tried this, and it looks like I've got to open Port
22 on the firewall. Do you know if sftp can be used from say NVU, to
publish a site?
