1) Use scp/sftp: it's called "Shell link..." is mc menu (the problem is
Password: prompt is displayed somewhere on the mc command line as it seems to
be unable to parse it for some reason. So when see it, simply enter the
password there & refresh the mc panels w/ C-O,C-O)
2) More general solution: if u run 6.0 use sysutils/fusefs-sshfs
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/fusefs-sshfs/),
it provides an scp/sftp link within filesystem layer, so you can use it not
only from mc but from any app. The problem it seems to be much slower than
plain scp (though uses the same transport), dunno why
