Well, one could twist it like that. The problem really is in the GUI. On
Worthless-Windows you need ftp:// for the ftp on that platform...at least for
Vista, don't know about 7. On OpenSuSE 12.1 (and Ubuntu 10.x don't know about
later) the ftp client works the exact same way as on Windows IF YOU DON'T PUT
ftp:// in front of the url. When putting ftp:// in front on Linux, you need a
completely different command line than on Windows. Since the ftp on Vista and
earlier Windows platforms will never be updated to support the new syntax and
since Kompozer is cross platform, the "expedient" fix is to stop the GUI from
forcing "ftp://" in front of the URL. The GUI has separate fields for username
and password which should remain separate in my opinion.
The other option, and one which is quite acceptable to most users, is to create
a 12.1 64-bit AMD RPM of 710 which was the "stable" version for years. It
never had this problem. Lock OpenSuSE at 710 and shove the bug up-stream to
the main Kompozer development team. I don't know how the 8.x version got
declared "stable" since it doesn't work with most FTP clients, but, perhaps it
was only tested on Windows.
I searched the world over and could not find a 710 RPM for OpenSuSe.
