    Hello Everyone,

    Just wanted to post a summary. I had several responses, some to the group
    and some just to me. Thanks to everyone for all the responses!!!

    All fit into two categories:

    1) Tunnel ftp with ssh, ssl, or something else. Not really what I was
    looking for. But thanks for the pointers.

    2) Use ssh/sftp with rssh to restrict the user account to just scp and or
       sftp. This is what I was looking for!

    Thanks again to everyone that replied,
    odk
