Most graphical DE shells on Linux will just mount sftp (scp/ssh) graphically, no need for stuff like this.

People still say Linux DEs aren't user friendly but IMO they're much more so than other OSes largely because other OSes have a moat to protect.



I use FileZilla on Linux because the file manager integrated ftp clients were not very good, and did not save connections etc. Just less of a PITA. I see I should try gftp or another alternative though.


I'd imagine it's wrapping ssh which will reuse connections if you tell it to in your ssh config. I use that heavily on my mobile computers.
