If your admin doesn't want to open SSH to the outside, then the
people who need it would need to VPN into your LAN first.  That's
how I do it on networks that don't allow any traffic from the
outside.

But like someone else ask, what alternative *would* your admin
prefer?  I'd rather use SSH than a yet-to-be-proven-secure
alternative app.
