libURL -- FTP over SSH

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Can libURL do FTP over SSH?

  ... where the control connection is encrypted on port 22, but the data 
connection is unencrypted and  a new random port issued by the remote 
server for a new connection to open  a per file basis,... i.e. appears 
to handshake like PASSIVE mode...

I had a terrible time with regular FTP to our new dedicated server at 
the OLM Data center in Connecticutt. They turned off ACTIVE for the 
whole center because of attacks, but regular  FTP on port 21/PASSIVE 
kept failing... the old problem of two firewalls unable to sort it 
out... I couldn't get a pipe to stand up for more then 10 files... 2 
minutes...

When I switched to SSH over FTP... it was solid as a rock -- in fact 
I've been uploading data now for 21 hours with Interarchy, from Hawaii 
to Connecticutt.. and there hasn't been a single broken pipe in all 
that time... 22,000 files-3 gigs of data uploaded and 2.5 gigs more to 
go...

Anyway I need to point all my Rev web generator scripts to the new 
server and hope that libURL will be able to do as good a job as 
interArchy, ideally it could do FTP over SSH but don't see any SSH 
entry in the docs. If not, I may be forced to resort to issuing 
applescripts  commands to tell interarchy to do the job... not a 
pleasant prospect, when single line commands are there in Rev.
