I think we have different definitions of adequate.

Adequate file transfer in SSH would look something like this:

local% scp remote:files_I_want/* .      <-- multiple file transfer

        or

remote% sgrab files_I_want/*    <-- transfer files back to source of connection 

Right now, we are forced to tar/zip the files we want, then log out, scp
the archive, and log back in (assuming a single remote login). Since we use
challenge/response tokens, that's a 2 minute process MINIMUM.

I'm not saying that SSH couldn't provide these services --> but it doesn't
today, so it hardly makes for "adequate".
