Use SFTP. Works like FTP but since it uses SSH it's secure. If you're running SSH on your computer, you automatically have SFTP installed. Connect using the SFTP command in the Terminal or use an SFTP client like Transmit.

First, make sure you have the shell selected, then type:

top -l 1 45

Hope it works, it does for me anyways.
