Or you could clone to a USB stick or you could create a bundle and email that or ...
It depends on what your objective is. If it is backup, for example, what kinds of transport mechanisms you have available (removable media, webserver, email client, etc.).

Even if you are using http, ssh is not always needed, depending on what kind of access (clone, push, etc.) you have, your network situation, etc. you can just push.
