Where is the link to the required changes? Binaries = scary. Also, an SSL link doesn't seem useful?

I took a look at it. It's not a binary. It's a python file (easily readable) that acts as a wrapper for ssh. Extract the contents of the tar.gz[1] for example to see it. It's great if it works because it apparently doesn't need changes to the remote ssh server.

Edit: Non SSL link: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mohammad-sepent/ppa/ubuntu/pool/mai...

Thanks for digging into this.
