The way xftree has been handling the issue so far is by opening a remote
instance of xftree on the the computer you wish to browse (with ssh,
telnet, rsh, rexec, etc), then you just drag and drop between a local
xftree and a remote xftree. You can choose between "rsync --rsh=ssh" and
"scp" , the default being the latter. Unfortunately this won't work if
the remote is a windows box, but that's where xfsamba comes in. You can
browse with xfsamba on the remote and drag-n-drop to and from a local
xftree instance.

Nonetheless the fish protocol sounds interesting and should be looked
into. Previous alternate suggestions include vfs.
