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 gigolo homepage.

You can start Gigolo in the following ways:

• From the Desktop Environment menu:

  Choose in your application menu of your used Desktop Environment:
  System --> Gigolo.

• From the command line:

  To start Gigolo from a command line, type the following and press Return::

    $ gigolo

Furthermore you need, of course, a C compiler as well as the intltool package.
