Russell Standish : ange-ftp-over-ssh
"GNU emacs has a wonderful remote file editing facility called
Ange ftp. However, because it uses ftp as its file transport agent,
passwords are transmitted as plain text which can be snooped by
the unscrupulous ``bad guys'' out there in cyberspace. This
package is a ``drop in replacement'' for the ftp client that instead
redirects the file transfers over ssh, which allows for connections
without the need for plain text passwords to be transmitted."
