Looking for SSH/SCP/SFTP/FTP client that does not store passwords

Hi, Anyone know off the top of their head of an SSH/SCP/FTP/SFTP client that can be configured and distributed in a way that won't allow server/password pairs to be stored? FileZilla is being proposed but not only does it store by default but it also stores in cleartext. Given the recent malware that used locally stored FTP passwords to compromise web sites and the long history of stored SSH keys being used to leapfrog into systems, I'd prefer to use a client with more sane and conservative settings and features on desktops of web publishers and system administrators. -- Gary Flynn Security Engineer James Madison University www.jmu.edu/computing/security
