i don't quite understand, are these guis? how do i access them, from the terminal with ./gftp & ?

i'm still very new to opensuse and linux, so i need my hand held for a while. ;-)

Konqueror web browser work fine as ftp client for both directions, download and upload. If you need user name and password it will pop up the window asking for them. If it happens that authentication window doesn't pop up, than try to include user name in URL, like; ftp://your_user_name@example.server.nil I still don't know is it the fault by the server that I login in or it is Konqueror bug, but the workaround is above form of URL. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You may if you want, or from the menu. Or the run menu.

gftp has gone to "System/File Manager" as "gnome ftp", instead of "internet/Data exchange" as previously. kbear, dunno. Somewhere. Just look around.

The Krusader was in bad shape last time I tried it, some month ago. It crashed twice on the same operation. I can't recall exactly what it was, but as it was just installed, it was proably some simple operation, nothing fancy. I wouldn't recommend it right now.

Improvement *must* have been dramatic and I know that it has had *several* updates in the last three months. I use it constantly, especially to copy photographs I have processed from my box to an onsite windoz xp box and an offsite windows xp box. The only time I have a problem is when the wireless connection degrades. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, yes. I did think of it, but decided not to mention it this time. I felt the OP wouldn't like it. However, it is a very good file manager. About krusader... well, I compare it with mc, obviously, and it falls short of the mark. Not so fast, not so reliable, misses some of the functions mc has... I often have several xterms opened with mc sessions in them, but I don't feel I could do so many things and as fast with krusader, with so few system resources. The only thing I really miss with mc is a file rename function. It does have a "move/rename", but I mean simply like "konq" [F2] functionality. Sometimes I would also like a side panel telling me the real file type, with details (like one of the konq modes do). Sigh... can't have everything, it seems :-} - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Not that one. I mean info like, if looking at an avi, telling me the duration in minutes, frames per second, the codecs, etc. If looking at OOo file, telling how many pages, words, or the abstract. Konq does this in one of the view modes. But I'll try to remember that shortcut ^x-i, thanks :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

gftp, kbear

Don't use KBear unless you're willing to spend a good while cleaning up your panel. I don't know what it does, but it mucks it up royally. There is "gftp". It doesn't wreak havoc on your panel.

Well, there is Konqueror. Just put in the appropriate url ftp:// etc.

Konqueror can also do scp. I mention this because it took me a long time to discover it, and it comes in handy. The URL format is fish://username@host/path. Combined with bookmarks this can be extremely convenient. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's the file transfer feature of ssh. It's analogous to rcp, but with encryption, just like ssh is analogous to rsh. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I often use fish:// and smb:/. Konqueror has a lot of very useful features. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dwain,

1. Linux has zillions you will get many suggestions here.

2. Do not forget almost any of the GUI file manager can work as an ftp client, Konqueor for KDE is an example. The synstax is simple 2.1 just replace http for ftp like ftp://name.domain or IP 2.1 if you require a user id ftp://userid@name.domain and it will ask you for password.

Under Konqueror if you click on the subtitle it will change the sorting order.

Nautilus under Gnome will do the same

3. There is a very nice and very easy to use ftp extension for firefox if this is your browser: fireFTP. I use it often.

4. If you need a server this is a good one

Ciao

thanks to all who have helped with this issue. i have chosen to use fireftp. i set it up, and i think it will work well. i have a page on my site to finish and then i will find out how well this extension works when i upload the file. this is a great group and i'm appreciative of your responsiveness to my questions and supplying the myriad of choices i have with my new found operating system. i am very impressed with opensuse. if you can follow my humor, i have set the splash screen to redmond. it makes me smile everytime i start my machine. now i understand why linux users call it windoze. dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.

As bernard mentioned there's gFTP or KBear. I haven't used either in a few years and I do FTP pretty much every day. KBear had some real issues and hasn't been maintained AFAIK.

I simply use Konqueror. It will save my passwords and allow all the things I need. I just open a new tab from the folder I'm working with and then use the ftp://username@ftp.mydomain.tld

For example, if I were admin at perfectreign.com, I'd use ftp://admin@ftp.perfectreign.com

It would then ask for my password (which is usually saved) and then open the ftp. I can then add the location as a bookmark or in the Network locations tab.

I've become so accustomed to Konqueror as FTP client (thanks to someone on this list) that I cringe at work when I'm forced to "downgrade" to WSFTP or some other inferior product.

thanks for all of the great suggestions that i have received. i now have an aesenal to "hack" around with until i find what works best for me. right now i'll start with fireftp. your a great group, and many thanks from this linux newbie. i love it! dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.
