Hi & thanks to all who answered, A few comments/responses: 1) We do not run KDE. 2) Some of the machines have Gnome but none of us like Nautilus very much for this solution: a) It does not, as far as we can tell, support a dual pane layout for easy file transfer. Rather it seems to require us to open two Nautilus windows and transfer between two windows instead of two panes. b) Most bothersome, if within Nautilus we bookmark directories on remote machines then every time we log in Gnome makes us type in passwords at login time instead of when we access the remote machine. Worse, if the machine which is bookmarked happens to be turned off then we get longs delays and error messages. In all the whole Nautilus solution seems to be quite unremarkable at this time. 3) Assuming this is 'fish://'' http://roo.no-ip.org/fish/screenshots.html then how is this a graphical file manager. It seems to be a shell. I support it is a replacement for ssh/scp protocols but that's not the problem just yet. I have no problems with scp and actually prefer it as it works with the Mac's and Windows machines I have here. Again, thanks for your responses. I do appreciate them. I also tried out xfe which seems OK on a single machine. I have not yet figured out if it can see the network using scp. With bet regards, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
