GUI for ssh/scp & How to use Kdessh?

Hi,

I'm looking for GUI / frontend for ssh / scp that works with KDE 3.1 & Mandrake 9.1. Please tell me if you know some and where to download it (RPMs)?

With Windows I have used Winscp for transferring files, instead of FTP. I've tried to find out, is Kdessh a GUI like that.. but typing "kdessh --help-all" doesn't help me enough to run it successfully. I couldn't find any man-pages for Kdessh when searching with Google.. how to use it?

Thank you for some tips!

PS. I've tried gFTP too, but can't get SSH working altought reading faq from www.gftp.org/faq.html

For a graphical frontend for ssh try
http://kssh.sourceforge.net/
(I don't know about rpms for Mandrake, maybe it's even in your distro)

For transferring files you can directly use konqueror and the fish protocol
(which works transparently via ssh).
Just type
fish://username@host
and you can drag and drop between this window
and other konqueror windows.

It allows you to browse directories on remote hosts in konqueror
very much the same way you can do it with local ones.
You can copy, rename, move or delete files.
And you can copy files to and fro between your local
computer and the remote host by simple drag and drop.

All you need is ssh access to the host
because it works over an ssh connection.

If you have a standard KDE installation you should have this
protocol at your disposal. AFAIK it's in the kdebase package.
So just try a URL of a user account you have:
fish://username@host

The same package provides smb:// which is probably the easiest way to exchange files with a Windows machine - just type smb://ip.of.remote.host and you'll see the shares of that machine.
Even better is typing lan:/ip.of.remote.host and you'll any type of available connection fish (ssh), ftp (well, FTP) or SMB (Windows shares).
