Yes, but this isn't really an option for someone who isn't comfortable with a shell. My point was this: Secure transfers are a great idea, but the command line utilities available to do them are not particularly easy to use (and I think this is broadly true of encryption utilities) with the end...

RBrowser is also good. Using SCP from the command line is not something you should have to do. If someone tries to make you, the important thing to do is to punch them in the jaw.
