WinSCP linux alternative?

[KyleThe49er]

I use WinSCP on my schools Windows workstation to connect to their servers. I would like to connect to these same servers using my laptop running Ubuntu 8.04. The "Connect to server" program already on Ubuntu cannot seem to connect. I use a password to login, and it does not ask for one. Are there any programs out there that work the same way and are as easy to use? I would greatly appreciate any recommendations! :)

i am looking for an alternate to winscp also because i am trying to connect to my iphone. i have a id_rsa file in my home directory which has a passphrase so when I try to use gftp to connect to iphone i only get to enter one password. and I need to enter 2. one being the passphrase and one being the root password for the iphone. any help would be appreciated.

All you need to do is connect via SSH. You can use the linux command "scp" to do file transfers between you and the server.
open a terminal and type

man ssh

I use > places > connect to server > ssh server and add it to my bookmarks -- very nice

I can not connect to my ipod anymore with the laptop of my brother with windows...
The problem is that my ubuntu computer only has wired internet!!
and when I go to ssh and fill in: ip address, "root" port 22, it fails to connect!!
(and where do I fill in "alpine"??)
Thanks!
