<para>Allows you to access another computer's files using a simple <acronym>SSH</acronym> shell account and standard &UNIX; utilities on the remote side. This way, no server software is needed and you gain access to that computer's files as if they were local (or on <acronym>NFS</acronym>, since it is slower than local access). It uses the same protocol as <application>MidnightCommander</application>'s #sh <acronym>VFS</acronym> handler.</para>

<para>Fish should work with any roughly <acronym>POSIX</acronym> compatible &UNIX; based remote computer. It uses the shell commands <command>cat</command>, <command>chgrp</command>, <command>chmod</command>, <command>chown</command>, <command>cp</command>, <command>dd</command>, <command>env</command>, <command>expr</command>, <command>grep</command>, <command>ls</command>, <command>mkdir</command>, <command>mv</command>, <command>rm</command>, <command>rmdir</command>, <command>sed</command>, and <command>wc</command>. Fish starts <command>/bin/sh</command> as its shell and expects it to be a Bourne shell (or compatible, like <command>bash</command>). If the <command>sed</command> and <command>file</command> commands are available, as well as a <filename>/etc/apache/magic</filename> file with &MIME; type signatures, these will be used to guess &MIME; types. </para>

<para>If <application>Perl</application> is available on the remote machine, it will be used instead. Then only <command>env</command> and <command>/bin/sh</command> are needed. Using <application>Perl</application> has the additional benefit of being faster.</para>

|
<para>Fish may even work on &Windows; machines, if tools like <application>Cygwin</application> are installed. All the above utilities must be in the system <envar>PATH</envar>, and the initial shell must be able to process the command <command>echo FISH:;/bin/sh</command> correctly.</para>
