'''''FI'''les transferrer over '''SH'''ell protocol'' is a [[Protocol (computing)|protocol]] to use [[SSH]] or [[Remote Shell|rsh]] to transfer files between computers. Serverside, '''FISH''' requires nothing more than a working [[unixUnix shell]], and doesn't require file transfer to be enabled on the SSH server. Optionally, there can be a special FISH server program ''start_fish_server'' installed on the server.

The advantages of FISH are that all it requires serverside is an SSH or RSH implementation and it doesn't require anything to be mounted clientside, which reduces hassle when only using FISH for one file.
