I used to access files on other Linux computers by pressing Alt F2 and then entering fish://<host name>, which would open up a file manager window on the remote system. This doesn't seem to work anymore? Any idea why? Is there a substitute? tnx jk

That's an acronym for FIles over secure SHell. It's sftp:// for any modern use. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 openSUSE, a LINUX desktop for humans who need to get work done.

That's news to me. Now to find out why I get connection refused. SSH and SCP work, so port 22 is open.
James, openssh has changed the way it does authentication. With scp, you now have to pass the -O option for legacy behavior. I suspect fish may be affected similarly. But I don't know where that option would be set for fish:// so the fish_kio would use it? (if on kde) Others wiser than I on the change and impact to fish will need to chime in. -- David C.

This is desktop dependent. On XFCE it doesn't work, the icon on the command line changes to a "forbidden" in grey. Same result trying with sftp. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
