<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>
