a change is as good as a holiday....also sounds like there is a dearth of stimulating conversation at your current gig.

With your advanced ftp technology you are blinding me with your retro chic. I need git over smoke signals. Nothing else is 19th century enough.

Seriously, other than it was a fun fidget, what was the point?

You'd be surprised at how few __cheap__ shared hosts provide SSH. Sometimes that's all that's available to you, for cost or managerial reasons.

HostGator and A Small Orange are both cheap shared hosts I can recommend that ssh. The only shared host I have run into that didn't support SSH was $25 / month for 1 MySQL database and some paltry amount of storage space.

I'm sure there are a lot of cheap shared hosts that don't provide SSH, but there are hundreds that do, and the big players (who are the most reliable anyway) definitely do.
