FIles via SsH, or FIles via SHell, or something like that. A protocol for file transfers over [ssh] (or the like) connections, providing [FTP]-like abilities to browse the remote file system, create directories, etc. while needing only /bin/sh and a few other standard [POSIX] features to be available on the server. Apparently rather popular in the [KDE] community. A format specification can be found at [http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/mc/mc/vfs/README.fish?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup]. ---- [Category internet]
