no ssh

Hi there,

I understand that you can use drush installed locally, on a remote server without the need to use ssh, through an alias. Is this correct? Do you people know about a good tutorial out there? I have a bluehost account and they ask for some ID faxed to them, I do not live in the US and i dislike the idea of having to scan an send an ID. Not happening.

Thanx in advance!
