Hi & thanks to all who answered, |
| 10 |
A few comments/responses: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1) We do not run KDE. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
2) Some of the machines have Gnome but none of us like Nautilus very |
| 15 |
much for this solution: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
a) It does not, as far as we can tell, support a dual pane layout for |
| 18 |
easy file transfer. Rather it seems to require us to open two Nautilus |
| 19 |
windows and transfer between two windows instead of two panes. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
b) Most bothersome, if within Nautilus we bookmark directories on |
| 22 |
remote machines then every time we log in Gnome makes us type in |
| 23 |
passwords at login time instead of when we access the remote machine. |
| 24 |
Worse, if the machine which is bookmarked happens to be turned off |
| 25 |
then we get longs delays and error messages. In all the whole Nautilus |
| 26 |
solution seems to be quite unremarkable at this time. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
3) Assuming this is 'fish://'' |

then how is this a graphical file manager. It seems to be a shell. I |
| 33 |
support it is a replacement for ssh/scp protocols but that's not the |
| 34 |
problem just yet. I have no problems with scp and actually prefer it |
| 35 |
as it works with the Mac's and Windows machines I have here. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Again, thanks for your responses. I do appreciate them. I also |
| 38 |
tried out xfe which seems OK on a single machine. I have not yet |
| 39 |
figured out if it can see the network using scp. |

| 41 |
With bet regards, |
| 42 |
