SSH (and SSL, SCP, TLS, et al) encrypts data in transit only.  Using the 
standard APIs, you don't see the encrypted forms (you just supply the keys).

The 3000 can be an SCP client (barely).  I don't know of any server side 
things that were fully ported.

If you use an intermediate SSH host, you can use tunnels (have succeeded 
with both Putty and SSHClient) to encrypt some standard plaintext 
traffic to the 3000.  Setup a linux host "close" to the 3000 (e.g., on 
the same subnet, or if it has two NICs, use it as a gateway to the 
3000's network).  This can be used to encrypt telnet and NSVT, but since 
it's a single channel, doesn't work for FTP or Reflections "fast" file 
transfer.
