grapical sftp

[ejazzkatt]

I have used Krusader to do sftp but I've noticed that it often says that the transfer is stalled. It does complete the transfer but I thought that I've look for another program to transfer files. I tried Filezilla and it seems to work but Krusader allows me to move a file, not just copy it. I don't think Filezilla supports that. Does anybody know of another graphical program that will allow me to use Move and not just Copy?

Thanks for your help

Dolphin... or konqueror

Just type in the addressbar: sftp://user@host/ and it will do the rest

Note that they also support other protocols such as smb:// for window shares ftp:// for insecure file transfers and many others.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Have you tried this in Dolphin:

fish://[i]user[/i]:[i]password[/i]@[i]host[/i]

I've found it works pretty well.

Useful reminder, for anyone who may not know the difference: sftp is SSH File Transfer Protocol. It is not FTP over SSH, nor is it FTP over SSL.

sftp:// (if it works) is recommended over fish:// since it is less of a hack and so more reliable and performant.

Hey, thanks for that. Very interesting.
