Bug Description
Current FAQ guide suggests that you use command line tools scp and rsync to copy
files to/from a remote Ubuntu machine. Much easier way is by using Nautilus
"connect to server" functionality (or, more precisely, gnome-vfs sftp module). I
can provide instructions.
Other related thing: it would be nice to add there instructions on how one can
use public key based authentication to avoid entering your password every time.
All this is described in man ssh - but that description is really not
user-friendly.

Thanks for your bug report. The first part of your bug is fixed for Ubuntu 6.04. I think a description of ssh keys is going outside the scope of the Desktop Guide, so I'm closing this.
