Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a gnome equivalent to KDE's kio_fish? A quick Google seems to indicate that there are some tools but no exact equivalent.
That's the thing that allows ssh urls? gnome's VFS layer handles ssh://servername/path/to/file urls as well, so any app that uses gnome-vfs for file reading/writing should allow that. (I just tried it with the text editor). You can also browse directories like that in the nautilus file manager.
John p.s. if kio_fish is something completely different, ignore this post.
Yes, it that is the animal. I discovered in the Ubuntu desktop that it was right under my nose anyway, doh! Under "Places" you can connect to a ssh server through the gui but the resulting URL starts with sftp rather than ssh.
