[olug] How secure is SSH?, or Secure File Transfer?

[Dave Homan]

I need remote access to my machine while I'm at work, there's no way around 
it.  I don't like telnetting my passwords and keystrokes to every script 
kiddie with a promiscuous eth-card.  The obvious and easy solution is to use 
SSH.  It's working like a charm for now but let me ask how secure is ssh?  
Has anybody run into any security issues with it?

Also, about remote file transfer.  I don't want to use ftp, and scp is kind 
of a pain (i can get it to work copying from *nix machine to *nix machine, 
but not if one of the machines is a win machine, ie my work machine) so are 
there any alternatives to ftp for secure remote file transfer?
