My default install of ub 9.10 did not include gftp, but it is in the
repos. Filezilla is also in the repos.

My default Ub 9.10 install includes a lot of mono libraries and the
runtime vm and some mono apps.

Ok, let me try it this way: gFTP is the GNOME project's de facto ftp
client. Ubuntu's installation doesn't include gFTP by default. It,
like other ftp clients, is available via the repositories.

Mono's installed by default in 9.04. From what I gather, the Ubuntu
project is gung-ho about all things Mono. Tomboy, for example, is
written in Mono & was one of the first to be adapted for Ub's
Eucalyptus-based cloud initiative (i.e. Ubuntu One).

fwiw,

Yea... That's what I was thinking.

I keep forgetting about that. Thanks. FUSE really does make things
easier wrt file systems. Btw, I tried using nautilus with ssh but,
really, it defaults to sftp.
