Maybe I'm wrong but it says "fish = Files_transferred_over_shell_protocol"; 
ssh stands for Secure Shell, so if you want to make transfers over ssh use 
sftp. In the address bar use sftp://mi.ip.add.ress/home/my_user/ ; as simple 
as that (it works in konqueror and maybe in dolphin, guess also in nautilus).
I read that there use to be a remote shell client and server that make 
possible the connection over the network but were replaced by secure 
versions. I use hardy and every rlogin, rsh man page goes to ssh one. I guess 
that old versions were replaced by ssh and wiped from ubuntu (for security 
reasons) but that's my imagination (where is the Internet link when you need 
it?).
