SSH access via GUI

I had some dedicated servers based on Linux. I use mostly terminal to access them by using SSH, we don't have FTP access to the servers to make them secure.
I like to use SSH through terminal. But some time when you are uploading one by one file after 2 and 3 minutes, its a bit painful. Specially this case arise when you are a web developer, and testing your files on live server and uploading it every minute.
So i find a very good software for it. Named 'gFTP', Its from gnome desktop. There are also many ftp software, like filezilla. But it does not have SSH2, to let you use it.
So the better and simple option is to use gFTP.
You can install it from software package management in any distro.

As now i am on Mandriva, you can install it from terminal by typing this:
urpmi in gFTP


You can change the urpmi in for other distros. But the gFTP will be there like for openSUSE:
zypper in gFTP
