Because it's easier than enabling SFTP on a number of hosts :) I have found in playing around that *sometimes* it works and *sometimes* it doesn't. I have used debug mode for sshd on my broken box and fish:// passes the username correctly, but still gets an auth fail. Strange. Works in other places. Unfortunately I don't have any conclusive results leading me to a logical and replicable problem, but I still might report it as a bug. > Anyway, if you're dead set on using it, see if you can enabled verbose logging > either on the client or the server.

And that's why I like fish -- cos it doesn't need anything special running to connect to a remote host! :) -- Adam Smith Internode : http://www.internode.on.net Phone : (08) 8228 2999
