Gigolo - remote filesystem management frontend
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: or even accessing your digital photo camera.
