The ftp client is TSX, an O/S that doesn't support secure-anything.
Sitting right next to it is a linux box. The thinking behind
"alan.command" was to create something of a relay, ie: something that
would scp the just-received TSX <filspc> onto another far away box.

(An alternative is to write a home-grown client for TSX and a home-grown
server for Linux, but I was hoping to avoid re-inventing 2 wheels.)
