this tool has been available since KDE 2.2 and was first shipped with KDE as
part of the core packages in 3.0.
i suppose everyone will discover Krfb in 3.2? ;-)

to be more explicit for those who can't figure it out from the screenshot (a
lovely one at that =): it opens a full file management session over a simple
ssh account. listing, deletion, copying, viewing, editing, thumbnails ... the
whole 9 yards, just as if the files were on your local system.
there is a similar option in newer versions of midnight commander, as well.
also note that you can use fish:// in file open/save dialogs, not just
konqueror. so you can open remote files in applications, or save to remote
systems from applications over an encrypted tunnel as long as you have an ssh
account on the machine in question. very slick, and one less reason to put X
on your servers for those who prefer GUI editors when editting config files.
