FIles transferrer over SHell protocol is a protocol to use SSH or rsh to transfer files between computers. 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 & a Unix shell and it doesn't require anything to be mounted clientside, which reduces hassle when only using FISH for one file.
The protocol was designed by Pavel Machek in 1998 for Midnight Commander.
Implementations
- Midnight Commander
