FIles transferrer over SHell protocol is a protocol to use SSH or rsh to transfer files between computers. Serverside, FISH requires nothing more than a working unix 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 protocol was designed by Pavel Machek in 1998 for Midnight Commander.
Implementations:
- Midnight Commander
- Lftp
- fish:// KDE kioslave
