Hi,
For those who are new into linux world. Graphical ssh for linux is always an issue. People look for GUI in linux.
There is one which I use named Konqueror.
How to get that? It is probably installed already in linux.
Go to, applications -> internet -> konqueror.
On the address bar, type
sftp://username@ip.address.of.site
or
sftp://username@www.mysite.com
and it will come up with graphical view of your ssh.
To add files,
draw your files from local machine into the browser window. You will see three options,
a. move
b. copy
c. cancel
Select your choice and transfer will begin.
NOTE: While transfering from konqueror window to your local machine. It is always a move operation. So be careful while dragging files from konqueror to your local machine.

firefox does not work after update
Hi,
When you updated centOS 5 packages, there is a possibility that current firefox 3.0 installed in your system will not work.
Here is what you need to do:
1) go to terminal window and type
$firefox
You should see, a message like this one,
Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9b5pre and 1.9b5pre
It can also be like,
Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9b5 and 1.9b5pre
When you get such a kind of error, do this.
2) get latest version of firefox at www.firefox.com
3) go to location where you downloaded the tar.bz2
4) tar -xvjf firefox*.tar.bz2
Here firefox* means it can be firefox-3.5.3 or any other.
5) this will create a folder with name firefox into your current folder.
6) you can transfer all contents from firefox folder into a new folder in /usr/lib.
$cd /usr/lib/
$mkdir firefox
$cd firefox
$mv path/to/firefox/tar/extracted/location .
7) once all files are copied to new /usr/lib/firefox/ , do the following
$pwd
/usr/lib/firefox/
$./firefox-bin
8) this will open a new window and will tell you about update of any existing plugin
9) click update to update all plugins.
10) once plugins are installed,firefox browser will open and ask to set it as default browser.
11) make firefox your default browser.
12) close firefox browser and go back to terminal. You will get a prompt back once firefox brower gets closed.
13) exit the terminal.
You are done!
Go to applictions->internet->mozilla firefox browser and it will open up for you.
In my case, the old bookmarks in firefox were restored. So, there is no problem.
