0026 Protocols as **fish** (ssh), **ftp**, **smb**, etc, can be used in connection from **Target Location** url editor. For example:

0028     - **fish://user_name@remote_computer**: connect to the *remote_computer* with *user_name* using SSH protocol (Secure SHell).
0029     - **ftp://user_name@remote_computer**: connect to the *remote_computer* with *user_name* using FTP protocol (File Transfer Protocol).
