(It lists all the ssh related ports). Maybe something there does what you want. Personally I use Konsole and the system ssh - no extra software needed. I use public/private key pairs for systems I don't want to enter passwords on and use ~/.ssh/config to create "sessions" - that is to associate an alias to a particular host and user name. Note: KDE already has a lot of built-in support for SSH/SFTP. For example, typing sftp://user@host or fish://user@host in a Konqueror location bar will allow you to work with the remote system's files in Konqueror. Most any KDE application (kate being the one I use most) can directly edit files on the remote system in this fashion. HTH, Micah
