No need for that; I believe thare are many graphical client that can do |

what you need (see below). |

If you use gnome, chances are that you already have gftp installed. |

Use public key authentication and you will not be prompted for passwords |

(select "SSH2" in the gftp protocol drop down menu). |

Of course, I used gftp as an example because that's the one I'm most |
| 33 |
familiar with, but there are surely many others out there that support |
| 34 |
the same features. |
