Ilya, all, I've run across a strange issue with sftp on 11.3 kde3 after recent updates. Attempting to connect to my server on my LAN with sftp, I get the following error: Unexpected sftp error: 2 - konqueror Error encountered while talking to ssh I don't know what recent update may have caused this (I suspect openssl), but it isn't suse specific. It also broke on Arch. The strange thing with both is 'fish' works fine -- even on a non-standard port. (apparently fish respects ~/.ssh/config) Another data point I have is that sftp still works fine with 11.0. So I guess whatever update 11.3 got that 11.0 didn't is causing the issue. I've checked syslog and nothing gets logged with the failure. It looks like a command line parsing issue. In konqueror, if I enter the url in the following form (as I've done for at least 4 years): sftp://user@host:port/dir1/dir2 sftp gives the error. However in 11.3 if I use the command line and do: sftp -Pport user@host:/dir1/dir2 I connect just fine. So it looks like the string kde3 now sends to ssh isn't working anymore. Ahah!! I just checked another box from 11.3 that uses the default port 22 as the ssh port and I can connect in konqueror in 11.3 via sftp just fine! Bingo. So I guess I need to know where I can try and fix this?? It seems that whatever changed in ssh no longer lets kde3 specify sftp locations as: sftp://user@host:port/dir1/dir2 Any thoughts on how I can work around this problem?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
