[TriLUG] GUI for OpenSSH and sftp? YES!!!

[Tomm Lorenzin]

Wow!  Thanx, Robert.  fish://... works beautifully in KDE - if a bit pokily
(~1Mb/min). But I am SO glad to have this capability on FC3.

Thanx, too, to you others who responded with CLI info.  I have tried them
(commands), and they work duckily, too - IF I wish to xfer small numbers of
files.

You TriLUG folx are THE BEST when it comes to expertise and response!

Konqueror has the "fish" protocol - files over secure shell.   Enter a 
URL like "fish://username@servername" as the Location.
