Right. Look into ssh's -L and -R (respectively, local and remote) port
forwarding switches. Ssh has the ability to forward arbitrary ports
securely.
There's also sftp, which (I think) comes with ssh2. I haven't used it,
but I'm pretty sure its interface is similar to FTP, so if you prefer
ftp's interactive interface, it might be worth looking at.

That might be a bit misleading; the second argument is more generally any
file (which might be a directory if you're copying multiple files).
So the more general syntax is
scp user@source:file(s) user@dest:file
It's like cp. In other words,
scp myfile powered.cs:newfile
would be a valid command.
