0022 <para>Allows you to access another computer's files using the <emphasis>S</emphasis>ecure <emphasis>SH</emphasis>ell (<acronym>SSH</acronym>) protocol.  The remote computer needs to be running the <acronym>SSH</acronym> daemon, but the remainder of the protocol uses standard commandline tools as discussed below.</para>
0023 
0024 <para>You can use the fish KIO worker like this:
0025 <userinput>fish://<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></userinput> or <userinput>fish://<replaceable>username</replaceable>@<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></userinput>.</para>
0026 
0027 <note><para>You need to use double forward slashes.</para></note>
0028 
0029 <para>You can omit the <replaceable>username</replaceable> (and the trailing
0030 @ symbol) if you have the same username on both computers.</para>
0031 
0032 <para>You can add a password in the format:
0033 <userinput>fish://<replaceable>username</replaceable>:<replaceable>password</replaceable>@<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></userinput>
0034 but it is not necessary as you will be prompted for one if it is not
0035 supplied.</para>
0036 
0037 <para>If you are running the <acronym>SSH</acronym> daemon on a non-standard
0038 port, you can specify that port using the normal &URL; syntax as shown
0039 below:
0040 <userinput>fish://<replaceable>hostname</replaceable>:<replaceable>portnumber</replaceable></userinput>.</para>
0041 
0042 <para>Fish should work with any roughly <acronym>POSIX</acronym> compatible
0043 &UNIX; based remote computer. It uses the shell commands
0044 <command>cat</command>, <command>chgrp</command>,
0045 <command>chmod</command>, <command>chown</command>,
0046 <command>cp</command>, <command>dd</command>,
0047 <command>env</command>, <command>expr</command>,
0048 <command>grep</command>, <command>ls</command>,
0049 <command>mkdir</command>, <command>mv</command>,
0050 <command>rm</command>, <command>rmdir</command>,
0051 <command>sed</command>,
0052 and <command>wc</command>. Fish starts
0053 <command>/bin/sh</command> as its shell and expects it to be a
0054 Bourne shell (or compatible, like <command>bash</command>).
0055 If the <command>sed</command> and
0056 <command>file</command> commands are available, as well as a
0057 <filename>/etc/apache/magic</filename> file with &MIME; type
0058 signatures, these will be used to guess &MIME; types.
0059 </para>
0060 
0061 <para>If <application>Perl</application> is available on the remote
0062 machine, it will be used instead. Then only <command>env</command> and
0063 <command>/bin/sh</command> are needed. Using
0064 <application>Perl</application> has the additional benefit of being
0065 faster.</para>
0066 
0067 <para>Fish may even work on &Windows; machines, if tools like
0068 <application>Cygwin</application> are installed.  All the above
0069 utilities must be in the system <envar>PATH</envar>, and the initial
0070 shell must be able to process the command <command>echo
0071 FISH:;/bin/sh</command> correctly.</para>
