What I have found about fish:// (the kio protocol) is old and often incomplete. Is there anything that's new? Like a primer? Or is this something to put on the KDE todo list?

    Related: [What's the difference between SFTP, SCP and FISH protocols?](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/8707/whats-the-difference-between-sftp-scp-and-fish-protocols), which cites [`README.fish` in the mc CVS](http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/mc/mc/vfs/README.fish?view=markup). It looks substantial, but I don't know if it's complete and up-to-date. Is it? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jun 08 '11 at 20:30
  • I checked; "Revision 1.6 - (download) (annotate) Mon Jun 2 19:47:30 2003 UTC (8 years ago) by proskin" it's 8 years old. – Syborgia Alphas Jun 08 '11 at 20:34

    The important question isn't how old it is, it's how up-to-date it is. Has the FISH protocol changed since then? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jun 08 '11 at 20:47

lftp supports FISH and is open source. Check the source of the FISH module, there are details of the protocol there:
