'''Files transferred over Shell protocol''' ('''FISH''') is a network [[Protocol (computing)|protocol]] that uses [[Secure Shell]] (SSH) or [[Remote Shell]] (RSH) to [[file transfer|transfer files]] between computers and manage remote files.

Line 28:

== Session initiation ==

The client initiates SSH or RSH connection with <{{code>|echo FISH:;/bin/sh</code>|fish}} as the command executed on remote machine. This should make it possible for the server to distinguish FISH connections from normal RSH or SSH.

The first two commands sent to the server are <code>FISH</code> and <code>VER</code> to negotiate FISH protocol, its version and extensions.

{{sxhl|2=fish|<nowiki/>

#FISH

echo; start_fish_server; echo '### 200'

Line 37:

#VER 0.0.2 <feature1> <feature2> <...>

echo '### 000'

}}

The server may reply to VER command with a lines like

VER 0.0.0 <feature2> <...>

### 200

which indicates supported version of the FISH protocol and supported extensions.
