'''''FI'''les transferrertransferred over '''SH'''ell protocol'' is a [[Protocol (computing)|protocol]] to use [[SSH]] or [[Remote Shell|RSH]] to transfer files between computers and manage remote files.

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]]. 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.
