<para>Allows you to access another computer's files using the SEcure Shell (<acronym>SSH</acronym>) protocol. The remote computer needs to be running the <acronym>SSH</acronym> daemon, but the remainder of the protocol uses standard commandline tools as discussed below.</para>
<para>You can use the fish kioslave like this:
<userinput>fish://<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></userinput> or <userinput>fish://<replaceable>username</replaceable>@<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></userinput>.</para>
<note><para>You need to use double forward slashes.</para></note>
<para>You can omit the <replaceable>username</replaceable> (and the trailing
@ symbol) if you have the same username on both computers.</para>
<para>You can add a password in the format:
<userinput>fish://<replaceable>username</replaceable>:<replaceable>password</replaceable>@<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></userinput>
but it is not necessary as you will be prompted for one if it is not
supplied.</para>
<para>If you are running the <acronym>SSH</acronym> daemon on a non-standard
port, you can specify that port using the normal &URL; syntax as shown
below:
<userinput>fish://<replaceable>hostname</replaceable>:<replaceable>portnumber</replaceable></userinput>.</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>
