[TxMt] Apple Filing Protocol

Nice suggestion ... I've been using AFP just locally between in house  
cpu's .. besides from being a bit slow (-er than say SMB even --  
anyone else notice that) it does the job.

One question, just because I don't know jack about the AFProtocol ...  
is it easy to, say, do that through an ssh tunnel? Or .. is it not  
necessary and already encrypted?
