    Yes, use 'scp', as it was designed for copying files between hosts
securely.  If you still want to use FTP, you can do it.  First log into the
remote machine with 'ssh' with:
       ssh -L3321:remotehost:21 remotehost
(where remotehost is the other machine name, and 3321 is an arbitrary port
above the 1024 mark).  Then you can 'ftp localhost 3321' to log into the
remote machine via FTP over a secure link.  You'll have to use passive mode
to actually transfer data, so if your server or client doesn't support it,
you're stuck with 'scp'.

ObGrammar Nitpick:  "It's" is a contraction of "it is," while "its" is
the posessive form of "it."  "You're"-- contraction of "you are" and
"your"-- posessive form of "you."  That's not too hard, now is it?
