No prob with that. I personally do it by console.
But I don't wanna tell the 101st user how to use the
"thingie called terminal. You can find it there and there .."
especially while users are not interested in terminals
in general : )

And - there _are_ good Guis for ssh/scp under all OS,
except Linux/Gnome.
There is Konqueror doing fish, but ubuntu is with gnome ..
and there is midnight commander knowing 'shell link'.
I was really happy to see the preferred WM (Gnome) with
ssh/scp capabilities _without_ needing a stored key
on server (which was only solution with older nautilus ..).

So I'd really like to get it running : )
And I'd determine it as a ubuntu/gnome/gui problem.

how to go further on that issue?

thanx for helping.
