Secure File Transfers for Axis 2100 Network Camera?

zombiechick asks: "I have a number of Axis 2100 network cameras, and would like to modify them to use a secure replacement for FTP. They run Linux, and there are developer tools available on Axis' web site. I am wondering if anyone has already done the work to port SCP (part of the SSH suite) or Secure FTP to the Axis camera. If you have modified the code running on the Axis cams, I'd love to hear about it." We did a story about the Axis camera and similar devices a while ago. Could such changes to cameras like these make them more secure?

It certainly should make them more secure

Just from the standpoint of reducing sucessful sniffing between the camera itself and the network this would be a great security improvement. Both for us ultra-paranoid sorts, as well as for voyure sites that want flexibility of camera placement, but also wish to choke any point of revenue seepage.

Sounds like a GREAT idea!
