ftps isn't an interesting widely used protocol, its legacy. You probably meant sftp, a subsystem for SSH which got nothing to do with FTP or FTP over SSL (ftps)

ftps isn't an interesting widely used protocol, its legacy. You probably meant sftp, a subsystem for SSH which got nothing to do with FTP or FTP over SSL (ftps). Both Konqueror (later Dolphin) and Nautilus have supported mounting remote SSH for ages. Yeah, its nice. On Windows you can do same with Dokan, and on Linux and macOS CLI with Fuse. I mount a USB stick on Linux with CLI, and I mount a remote SSH with CLI. Tiling window manager and endless terminals. Tho its possible to make KDE tiling, too. For those who like Sublime Text (command palette) and dual pane file manager I can recommend the cross-platform fman.
