Being a Windows user and new to Linux I automatically started looking around for a Linux equivalent of WinSCP. I’ve just recently installed Linux on my laptop, and when I wanted to browse the file system of my desktop, it suddenly occurred to me that I might be able to just browse it through Nautilus.
It turns out to be really simple in Gnome: just go to ‘Places’ in the menu bar and select ‘Connect to server…’. From here you can pick from several different protocols (including FTP, SSH, Windows share).
I just needed to specify SSH, and supply the desktops details and then I could see the server in the Nautilus tree. Fantastic!
