[ale] sftp, and rsync like ability

[tpike at teepee-sw.com (Todd Pike)]

rsync allows you to tunnel through ssh rather than rsh.  Look at the
(--rsh/-e) option to rsync.  The destination does not have to be running
rsyncd but does need the rsync command available.

A quick google on "rsync ssh" will give several tutorials.
