   ubuntu uses the same clients as all other *nix systems... but all of them have   
   problems of various kinds and none of them work like folks used to the DOS way   
   of doing things work... those being good ANSI support as well as   
   "within-the-connection-stream" file transfers... on *nix file transfers are   
   done on their own connections external to the terminal... on DOS style   
   (winwhatever included) systems, the transfers are just more data in the   
   currently used connection stream...   
      
   now, if the above plugin things assist with that, i don't know... on   
   winwhatever, i use my favorite terminal program and make it the default   
   handler for those types and protocols...   
      
   ubuntu or debian or redhat or any similar *nix system has nothing to do with   
   this...
