It's installed by default on all my systems. Well, my defaults anyway. If you have accounts on distant machines its by far the easiest way to deal with file transfer on a day to day basis. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

Some pattern may have it.

Till recently I used 'mc', which would ssh to anything and present the remove virtual filesystem. Worked fast. But during 13.1 life the feature broke: there was a bug on copy or move big files, both copies could be erased, so the "ssh" virtual filesystem was patched out. Remained ftp, sftp, and smb. sftp uses ssh, but differently, and needs a modification in the sshd config, perhaps unsafe. And it is buggy in mc, fails to transfer files often. Permissions or some other problem. So instead I used 'nfs', which is a nuisance for occasional use. Or for very remote use. So yes, I hope to use 'sshfs' a lot. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

No fish on 'mc' - that line of me above refered to the protocols available on 'mc'. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I use fish/dolphin for that. Never had any problem jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You can use fish:// in Konqueror and Dolphin, for instance. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I know that other clients support fish, but I want to use 'mc'. It is neat, small (small window), and fast. That is what I have been doing since 'mc' broke this feature in 13.1. And now, thanks to sshfs I'll use mc again to transfer files. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Another reason that sshfs is better/different than fish is that things like Dolphin see it as a local file system and will show you previews or thumbnails, and So when browsing a list of images on your nas, you can see the previews/thumbnails without having to call up each file manually. Clearly not that great when the other machine is a long slow network away, but in the office its great. I'd love it if sshfs were to become an option in the Dolphin "Network" window. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.

For me, that works fine with fish:// too. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

... however, I have found that when transferring large videos from the Android device using Dolphin, they are invariably corrupted -- or, were, before switching to SSHelper and sshfs. That is why I started running checksums and then checking the transferred files. Unison, which does checksums, would take a long time with the other methods, including the cifs method, then would through up a Fail when transferring large video files. The only other method that was fully reliable for large video files was to use FTP Server on the Android device and downloading the file with ftp in Firefox. BTW: Ghost Commander for Android has an ssh plugin, if interested in checking that out. -Gerry aka Fraser_Bell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thunar (GTK stack) I found reliable for transferring big video files. Slow, yes. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

with fish?? I do this almost every day and never had such problem. Or may be for android? For my phone I use owncloud, but never have really large files on phone

oh, yes, sftp, in fact. seems to work thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
