I do not know ssh ( because I never used it ) . Now Firefox is not LIKING to connect to ftp sites . I am using Qupzilla ( in Linux ) when I click an ftp site in Firefox , i.e. Firefox is forking Qupzilla for that ftp site . Also there is Filezilla for ftp sites , among other possible alternatives . My question ( which it may be wrong due to my lack of knowledge ) : Can we use ssh like Qupzilla or Filezilla on existing ftp sites or can ssh be a sufficiently powerful alternative to Qupzilla or Filezilla ?
