Is there any WinSCP equivalent for linux

Question

I love WinSCP for Windows   What are the best equivalent softwares for linux   I tried to use sshfs to mount the remote file system on my local machine  but it is not as user friendly as simply launching a GUI  plus it seems to require root access on the client machine  which is not very convenient   Of course command line tools such as scp are possible  but I am looking for a simple GUI

One big thing not mentioned is the fact that with WinSCP you can also use key file authentication which I am unable to do successfully with Ubuntu FTP clients  KFTPGrabber is the closest thing I can find that supports key file authentication    but it still doesn t work for me  where WinSCP does

One thing I find WinSCP does well that I cannot do easily with Ubuntu tools is tunneling to a secondary machine   This is done with one with one connection setting in WinSCP   While I can use the native file browsers in Ubuntu  11 11  to reach any machine  I cannot easily tunnel thru an intermediate machine to reach a third one  I suspect it is because I do not well understand how to set up tunneling   I am toying with gSTM  but there is little documentation  and I suspect it is for setting up local tunnels  not remote ones   In any case it is not as dead simple as WinSCP made it   This is no anwser  but perhaps it highlights a critical feature of WinSCP that suggestions for alternatives should address   Now off to learn more about tunneling
