Further to my last email -

I have contacted my ISP. They tell me that SSH would use port 3784. 
Further they say that SSH is not normally enabled for security reasons. 
If anyone wants it set up they charge £13 a year.

I have emailed back to say what I want to do with it. Awaiting their answer.

Meanwhile, plan B would be to encrypt any files first before 
transferring them. That would be a pain!!
