gnome-vfs uses sftp:// has a URI type for these files, not fish://. Try: `gedit sftp://user <at> server/index.html` or something similar.Hey that worked, very good!
Note that sftp and fish are different protocols. KDE supports both. SFTP requires server-side support, fish uploads a perl script to the server using SSH to act as the server side.
Accepting your description, FWIW I didn't have to set anything up on the server side to get sftp working (this is a Fedora-based server).
Hmm the File Open dialog in gedit will not parse sftp://, but the File Open dialog in bluefish will, and does a reasonable job of it. Not sure why that should be.
