I would not putr this code into the application. There are numerous ways
to establish a SSH tunnel or to use IPsec in order to secure the
transport layer. The latter is extremely easy to set up with the new
Linux kernel 2.6.x.

We use SSH tunnels for remote server backups and this works realiably
for over three years now.

Best,
René.
