KBear crashes on me consistenly making it unusable. I have tolerated this as I really didn't need it, using the command line FTP client for doing single file FTP transfers. But I would really like to have KBear work, no clue why it crashes, the KDE crash handler complains about SIG something but thats about all the information I have. Anyone with any experience with KBear and getting it to work or an alternative GUI FTP client that might work in the SuSE 10.0 (Retail) environment. Be nice to be able to drag and drop folders between the FTP site and the local host. Thanks, Clint

Consider gFTP.
Clint: I'm with Kai. Just use Konqueror. For example, type in the address ftp://yourname@192.168.?.? and you will get the log on to the machine you are trying to access. You can move directory structures with no problem. Very slick indeed. HTH Chuck On 4/2/06, Clint Tinsley <clintin@linuxmail.org> wrote:

Just a note, don't know if it's a problem of my provider or of konqueror: As Kbear often crashes I prefer konqueror, too. I use sftp (don't want anybody to listen to my passwords...). It is very comfortable. But one day, I've put a lot of files to the server, opened some using kwrite, took some files from the server, renamed, added new directories... and so on... suddenly the server said "too many ssh connections". I couldn't re-connect anymore. When I called the provider, he asked about the ftp-client I am using and when I said "konqueror" he said: "oh, no good, you should use a real ftp-proram like Kbear or something, because konqueror doesn't handle the log on/off's correctly". I have no idea if this is true or not. Would be interesting if somebody knows if there is really a difference in the sftp-log in or out handling between konqueror and Kbear? I still use konqueror (pssst, don't tell anybody ;-) ), however I never needed to do so many things the same day again as when the mentioned message came up...

Hi Daniel: I sometimes sign on to as many as three different machines (all internal) with the same session of Konqueror. I notice that when I decide to go back to a machine I've used before it still knows who I am and I don't get the sign on. So I think maybe your provider knows something about what he's talking about??? At least you have a provider who knows what Konqueror is! Count your blessings! KBear is being dropped from SUSE so is Konqueror is not adequate we need to find a new ftp client. To bad. I really liked KBear in the days it worked. I find it very difficult to go back to a cludge like gFTP after KBear. But for me, Konqueror filled the bill nicely. Chuck
