Does Finder do ssh correctly? Or have I missed something? Following François' article I have ssh working fine from the shell but when I try to connect to the server from a Finder network browse I get a message that the server does not support secure connections through ssh. -K

Showing messages 1 through 3 of 3.

  Hi !
  
  SSH, as a command-line tool, requires that you use the Terminal in order to connect to a remote server. In order to transfer data through SSH by using a GUI, you may want to look at third-party applications like Fugu (http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/).
  
  The message you see is likely to appear when you use the "Connect to server" menu, available through the Finder. However, by using it, you are establishing an AFP connection : the Finder is merely informing you that the computer to which you are connecting does not support SSH tunneling for the AFP connection. Unless you are establishing a connection to a specially configured AFP server, this is expected behavior and does not indicate an issue.
  
  Let me know if this helps!

  François - thanks for the prompt reply! Yep, I leaped to the conclusion that because the Finder supports ssh (under Options on the Connect to Server window is a preference that says "Allow secure connections using SSH") the native AFP server would. Thanks for clearing that up. Regards, -K
