Check These Out
Get the longest match of file extension (Ex. For 'foo.tar.gz', you get '.tar.gz' instead of '.gz')
I use zenity because it's a rewrite of gdialog and also replaces gmessage and has more useful options.
Using --text-info allows you to select and copy the text to your clipboard.
To see a file in a list dialog: cat /etc/passwd | zenity --width 800 --height 600 --list --column Entries
If you don't have zenity, you'll have to download it via apt-get install zenity, etc.

it compresses the files and folders to stdout, secure copies it to the server's stdin and runs tar there to extract the input and output to whatever destination using -C. if you emit "-C /destination", it will extract it to the home folder of the user, much like `scp file user@server:`.
the "v" in the tar command can be removed for no verbosity.
similar to the previous command, but with more friendly output (tested on linux)
swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"
Rather than complicated and fragile paths relative to a script like "../../other", this command will retrieve the full path of the file's repository head. Safe with spaces in directory names. Works within a symlinked directory. Broken down:
$cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")"
temporarily changes directories within this expansion. Double quoted "$(dirname" and ")" with unquoted ${BASH_SOURCE[0]} allows spaces in the path.
$git rev-parse --show-toplevel
gets the full path of the repository head of the current working directory, which was temporarily changed by the "cd".
This should handle whitespaces well and will not get confused if your filenames have "?" in them
The above was done using the i386 flashplayer plugin, and was installed on a AMD64 machine running an AMD64 kernel and AMD64 programs. the resulting plugin install ultimately didn't work for swiftfox (but worked for iceweasel) without also covering it with a nspluginwrapper which took a bit of fenangaling to get to work (lots of apt-getting) but it is a nice feature to be able to trick installers that think you need i386 into running on a amd64, or at least attempting to run on amd64. Enjoy
I use this to replicate my blocked images hosts list between work and home to keep my browsing ad-free.
