VLC: Can I stream over SSH?

Solution 1:

Try SFTP. It's the protocol used by SSH to transfer files and is supported by VLC in the Open Network Stream menu by typing sftp://<server>/<path to file> and then authenticating.

Solution 2:

Three steps:

Generate a new SSH key for easy authentication with ssh-kegen.
Use ssh-copy-id to copy the key to the server.
On the commandline, type
```
vlc sftp://user@host:/path/to/file
```
