That makes sense - but when I use ftp://192.168.10.101 - I get the login dialog - type name and password and it works. So how is a non SSH expert supposed to know this? It might be helpful to have some on-line help for regular users about the fish syntax. There is nothing under KDE HELP or man pages . . . and one would naturally assume it works like the FTP. I'm just trying to think from a usability perspective. Thx, Robert -- Robert Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fox Consulting Services
