Syntax is fish://username@server/folder.
sftp
SFTP is a Secure file transfer protocol. sftp is an interactive file transfer program, similar to ftp, but it performs all operations over an encrypted ssh transport.
Syntax is sftp://username@server/folder.

The smb ioslave enables you to browse the shares of a Windows® (or Samba) network. It requires libsmbclient.
Syntax is smb://a_workgroup, to list the hosts in a workgroup.
Syntax is smb://the_host or smb:/a_workgroup/the_host to see the shares of a host.
Syntax is smb://the_host/the_share or smb:/a_workgroup/the_host/the_share to access a share directly.
