I have been trying to find out how to transfer files securely between my
home FC3 systems and my Apache web server.  Using Windoze XPee, I currently
use the SSH Secure File Transfer client which has a nifty file-mangler-like
GUI.  I would like to be able to do the same on my FC3 boxes, but I cannot
discover (so far) how to do this, even tho there is every indication that
the latest version of OSSH is present on both systems via up2date.

I have managed to enter a few commands in a terminal window

I entered (at a superuser terminal window) ssh -l <username> <server.name>
...according to instructions found at:
http://www2.linuxjournal.com/article/4412

...and after a few interesting msgs about authentication and fingerprints
(???) and having to type "yes" ("y" was NOT an option), I was rewarded with
a prompt for my pw. I entered that successfully and am now at a -bash-2.05b$
prompt, which is just SO f***ing illuminating that I must be being blinded
by the light!!!

Am I to divine that I am at a TELNET prompt (?) and can sftp or something
like it from here?

Doesn't openssh for linux have a KDE or Gnome GUI interface that I can use
like I am used-to on the M$ boxes?
Konqueror has the "fish" protocol - files over secure shell. Enter a URL like "fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the Location.
