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??
