I'm confused Alvy, what do you want? sftp works fine for me. My computers can read from hard disk and encrypt much faster than my network cards can move data, so the overhead is not an issue for me. I'm glad that not everyone knows how to use ettercap to sniff my ssh1 passwords, especially when I'm using ssh2.
I wish I knew how to help you with Nautilus, but I have not been using it. I should probably give it a try under sarge and mepis to see how it has been coming along but under woody, I liked the way GMC worked better. Not many people look over my shoulder so I can type passwords, have them displayed on my screen or have them flash in big blinking lights without fear and Nautilus' little quirk won't bug me. Also, use of pass phrases makes it hard for all but the most gifted memorizers to remember my password from a casual glance. As a file manipulation tool and browser, Konqueror is getting hard to beat.
