Aunt Tilly's Linux

[Chris Gehlker]

A have undertaken to write an introduction to SFTP for an  
environmental organization. The target audience is unsophisticated  
computer users who might be using Windows, OS X or Linux but who no  
nothing about SFTP. They only need to know how to move one file to a  
server running Linux.

I myself haven't used a desktop Linux distribution in awhile so I got  
Ubuntu, thinking it would be popular among newbie users. I discovered  
that there is a nice GUI SFTP client built into the Nautilus shell.  
Clearly the easy way to go with documentation is just to explain how  
to accomplish the required task from Nautilus.

My  question for you all is this: 'Is the Nautilus shell common  
enough on newbie desktop Linux systems that it is reasonable just to  
assume it is there?'

TIA for your  resoionses.
