Afaik, there is no GUI front end for scp -- or I don't know how to look
for one. Would it be possible to have such a thing?
I'm thinking, given an established ssh connection between two machines,
it would sometimes be a lot easier to drag and drop files than for
arthritic eyeballs and trifocal fingers to type out long character-
perfect strings for scp -- something like what I do, for instance, when I
download pix to my home directory, and them move them into the directory
I want them in.
If this could be done, it would sure make life easier for some of us --
especially when we have to do a fresh install on one or more machines ...
If you are mostly trying to duplicate whole directory trees, try
cd local_dir
rsync -av -essh . user@remote_host:/remote/path
rsync will figure out on its own what's already there.
If you want all your tools to have access to remote things over ssh, try
yum install fuse-ssh
sshfs user@remote_host:/path /local/mount_point
and visit /local/mount_point in a GUI file manager (or whatever you prefer).
