When BC is going to support connecting with SSH (using WinSCP for this would be good ideea).

It's clear that people looks for security and we have two ways for this: SCP and SFTP.

Here it is a comparison
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/protocols#protocol_comparison

We need one of them at least :)

SCP it's more easy becase you just need SSH access to the host.

Yeah, yeah!

Another vote from me for native support of these protocols.

There are some workarounds described in the BC Knowledge Base.

SFTP support is on our list for the future. Our development team is focusing all of their efforts on version 3 right now (to include 3-way merge and in-line editing). Because of the work required for version 3 features, the initial release of version 3 isn't likely to include SFTP support, but we hope to have SFTP support in one of the following 3.x releases.
