===== Introduction =====
Gigolo is a frontend to easily manage connections to remote filesystems using
GIO/GVfs. It allows you to quickly connect/mount local and remote filesystems and manage
bookmarks of such.
GVfs is an userspace virtual filesystem and the successor of GnomeVfs but doesn't
depend on Gnome itself. It only requires a recent GLib version and a properly setup
DBus system. Then it provides almost transparent access to remote
resources like FTP or SFTP (SSH) connections, SMB (windows shares) or special resources like ''trash://'', ''burn://'' or even accessing your digital photo camera.
For more information and additional help, please see the [[http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/|gigolo homepage]].
