I get strange/no displays +A: Could be a bug, could be a problem with the remote + tools. Try having perl somewhere in the PATH on the + remote machine, that should work reliably. Shell- + only mode is prone to different tool's opinion about + parameters and what they mean. Shell-only mode is + thouroughly tested only on GNU tools, and has + superficial testing on BSD and Digital Unix. Solaris + seems to have problems. Any reports for shell mode on + non-GNU machines welcome (BTW, if you see a file + .fishsrv.pl in your remote home directory, fish did + use perl mode) + +Q: The connection stays open. How do I disconnect? +A: Just wait. The system default idle timeout is used. + (about a minute or so) + +Q: Why are there no icons? +A: With this release, you should have icons almost always, + but best results are obtained if you install a recent + version of the 'file' utility that supports the '-i' + option. + +Q: How do I specify which program to use for SSH? +A: Not at all, sorry. After evaluating other programs (rsh, + rlogin, telnet) I came to the conclusion it was way too + complex to support these, as only ssh supports both, + password authentication and automatic execution. + |
