'...no so usable', this is joke. It's real design failure. Do not take
this personally but whoever approved this did bad job.
No, of course: I'm not so proud of it too. :-)
A previous attempt used ssh and scp to do all automatically but it was rejected being
judged not so secure.
Avoiding to use ssh and scp so seams a strong requirement; if you have any better idea
feel free to propose it.
