+<para
+>Allows you to access another computer's files using a simple <acronym
+>SSH</acronym
+> shell account and standard &UNIX; utilities on the remote side. This way, no server software is needed and you gain access to that computer's files as if they were local (or on <acronym
+>NFS</acronym
+>, since it is slower than local access). It uses the same protocol as <application
+>MidnightCommander</application
+>'s #sh <acronym
+>VFS</acronym
+> handler.</para>
+
+<para
+>Fish should work with any roughly <acronym
+>POSIX</acronym
+> compatible &UNIX; based remote computer. It uses the shell commands <command
+>cat</command
+>, <command
+>chgrp</command
+>, <command
+>chmod</command
+>, <command
+>chown</command
+>, <command
+>cp</command
+>, <command
+>dd</command
+>, <command
+>env</command
+>, <command
+>expr</command
+>, <command
+>grep</command
+>, <command
+>ls</command
+>, <command
+>mkdir</command
+>, <command
+>mv</command
+>, <command
+>rm</command
+>, <command
+>rmdir</command
+>, <command
+>sed</command
+>, and <command
+>wc</command
+>. Fish starts <command
+>/bin/sh</command
+> as its shell and expects it to be a Bourne shell (or compatible, like <command
+>bash</command
+>). If the <command
+>sed</command
+> and <command
+>file</command
+> commands are available, as well as a <filename
+>/etc/apache/magic</filename
+> file with &MIME; type signatures, these will be used to guess &MIME; types. </para>
+
+<para
+>If <application
+>Perl</application
+> is available on the remote machine, it will be used instead. Then only <command
+>env</command
+> and <command
+>/bin/sh</command
+> are needed. Using <application
+>Perl</application
+> has the additional benefit of being faster.</para>
+
+<para
+>Fish may even work on &Windows; machines, if tools like <application
+>Cygwin</application
+> are installed. All the above utilities must be in the system <envar
+>PATH</envar
+>, and the initial shell must be able to process the command <command
+>echo FISH:;/bin/sh</command
+> correctly.</para>
