Overview

When you point your browser to fish://user@target, http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/kioslave/fish/fish.cpp?view=log opens a process that calls the executable ssh. If a password is needed, this question is passed on to you (search for "password" in fish.cpp). Then a perl script is copied over to the target host and executed there. On the target host, the file is named .fishsrv.pl. This perl script is compiled into your binary kio_fish.o. If you want to change it sustainably, you will have to change fish.pl in your source dir and then compile and install the directory kioslave/fish.
