Hello:

In openSUSE 11.2 sftp protocol is working in KDE3 applications. But in oS 11.4 and 12.4 it gives and error message, something like "an error occurred while talking to ssh" (I can't remember the exact message).

I know that this is a known issue in KDE3. See eg: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde3/2011-03/msg00087.html

As I use sftp in KDE3 krusader extensively I am wondering when will this issue be fixed? Or is there a plan at all to fix this problem?

I tried other sftp clients (gtk based) but not really like them.

Thanks,

Istvan

Istvan, I was hoping this would be fixed by now. The problem was with the ssh kio. I too use sftp extensively and it has really sucked over the past year working around this problem. (at least fish:// does still work). There was an effort that was working on a complete rewrite of the ssh-kio slave, but I don't know what the status is there. If anyone else knows, the please let us all know if we should have something working in the near future. If you have a contact for the dev working that rewrite, post it or send it privately to Istvan and I so we can work with him in whatever he needs (testcases, test servers, etc...) I sure would like to see sftp up and working again. Sftp in konqueror with sure spoil you for remote file management versus a pure ssh and rsync approach from the CLI. Istvan, you can check this list archive for the past year or so for my name and sftp an*d you should find several detailed threads describing the details of the problem. Last time the issue was brought up, everyone was in favor of going forward with the rewrite, I just haven't heard anything in the past 6 months or so. -- David C.
