Actually, for SSH file transfers I rarely use the shell anymore.  The
gnome-vfs support is just too easy.  I can edit files on my web host
using gEdit directly.  And the whole thing is nice and secure.

I've actually set up .desktop files for most of the applications that I
use on other hosts too.  They SSH in using a key, create the secure X
tunnel and start the application.  It's really nice to have all of that
integrated.

While I use SSH almost constantly, it's rarely from the shell.
