Hi Guys,

I haven't read this thread, but don't you want sftp:// and shouldn't root ssh login be disabled?
Why?
I cannot imagine why anyone would want to use a terminal/ssh to move files
I can't think of a quicker simpler way for moving files in certain situations. scp of course, not ssh, but that's pedantic.
(unless its something like an rsync script). OP appears to be trying to move files using a browser (maybe I snipped too much).
But then it's not a terminal session?
Konqueror supports sftp://(user@)IP/host (ssh ftp, packaged with ssh) addresses which makes it really easy to move files to/from other machines. Using the already suggested key pairs it's just like working with files on the local system.
I thought remote root logins were disabled by default
Over zealous, cotton wool bearing, self appointed guardians of the OS :)
, it's a standard security precaution (since I cannot $ su w/ sftp, I enable/limit root logins to key pairs on my remote server).
So even you permit root login. Hang on ....
...I see that sshfs and using it in Konqueror via fish:// have been mentioned. I've never used them and see no point when Konqueror and sftp are already available.
The mind boggles.
