I am using Gnome, any software I can use to have a graphic file transfer client. I am really tired of type such a long command in terminal using "scp".
Originally posted by acid_kewpie scp is a doddle... i'd guess you need to learn bash better, it's much quicker than a gui. but i *think* gftp supports scp and sftp as well as ftp.
The reason I want to use GUI is that my personal folder's location in Campus server is more than 30 characters long, everytime I want to transfer a single file I have to type such a long path.
I tried gftp to connect to my Campus server, but it doesn't work.

If you're running a very recent system...GNOME 2.6 has a "Connect to Server..." option in the File menu that accepts sftp://, and you can bookmark URIs in the File Browser.

You know that pressing tab will complete filenames right?

does ~ not work for your personal folder? or is your personal folder not your home directory?...
