I use the following methods in different circumstances, all relying on ssh
for security:

Set up ssh to use public/private key authentication so it does not require a
password. Then cron simply needs to do "cvs update -d" periodically. This
prevents passwords and data from going over the Internet unencrypted. 

Alternately, you can do update locally and use ssh+rsync to copy data en
masse. Again ssh encrypts. 

I've not used ssh as a port-forwarding proxy very much, but that is another
option that would work.
