Adding local short description: "Computer protocol", overriding Wikidata description "protocol for transferring files using shell commands (usually SSH or rsh)" (Shortdesc helper) |
Unable to find actual copyright in USA or Czech Republic... better than previous though |

Line 6:
The advantage of FISH is that all it requires on the server-side is an SSH or RSH implementation, [[Unix shell]], and a set of standard [[Unix]] utilities (like [[ls]], [[cat (Unix)|cat]] or [[dd (Unix)|dd]]—unlike other methods of remote access to files via a remote shell, [[Secure copy|scp]] for example, which requires ''scp'' on the server side). Optionally, there can be a special FISH server program (called ''start_fish_server'') on the server, which executes FISH commands instead of Unix shell and thus speeds up operations.
The protocol was designed by Czech Linux Kernel Hacker, Pavel Machek, in 1998 for the [[Midnight Commander]] software tool.<ref>[https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/blob/master/src/vfs/fish/fish.c File: ''Fish.c'' - via Midnight Commander Official Repository]</ref>
