FIles transferrer over SHell protocol is a protocol to use SSH or 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 or 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.

The protocol was designed by Pavel Machek in 1998 for Midnight Commander.
