graphical ssh client

[waris]

Is there any sort of graphical SSH client software available. where i can drop and drag files back and forth. I know there is one for windows.

I don't think that would be "ssh" then. But you can try putty's version of scp (don't think it is all that graphic though)

I'm pretty sure gFTP can do SSH/SFTP, as well as a bunch of other protocols.

OHH, I forgot about that one, but it's not drag and drop either... iirc.

yeah you can drag files with gftp back and forth between your comp and the remote comp. if gftp does use ssh as a protocol though im not sure if it will login to a normal ssh session, go ahead and try it, it cant hurt, but i think gftp will only do ftp stuff. maybe wrong though

gftp never worked with ssh for me...
couldn't you just use NFS?

Possible with konqueror with URLs like fish://user@hostname/
However sometimes it does not work quite well, (sudden disconnect, strange errors).

I use a kernel module called SHFS; stands for "shell file system".

The way it works is that it allows you to mount the remote filesystem locally but the data flows over ssh. And this remote filesystem doen not need to be "shared" (as in samba or nfs), just accessable via ssh.

Then, when I mount a remote system, I can open two nautilus windows and drag and drop all day long.

The command would look like this:

$shfsmount michael@michael.com:/the/dir/i/want /mnt/shfs/m

It is a lovely tool indeed and comes in very handy for me because I dont like to run ftp servers on my servers.

Wow. Thanks for the link.

That program is amazing.
