I really like the 'Dolphin' file manager that you can run under Linux (KDE). One of it's best features is that it understood the SSH protocol, so you could enter the following to browse to a file on an ssh server...

fish://myserver.whatever.com/Documents/

This will open a secure session to the server in question and allow you to browse directories and download files. It also understands smb:// for samba shares. Even cooler, you can have multiple systems up as separate panes of the same window and copy a file from remote system A to remote system B. Awesome.

Yeah, I like Dolphin also. It doesn’t actually need KDE to be running as window manager; probably does need KDE services but runs fine with other managers such as Xfce.
