All,
This has been a big issue in kde3/trinity for a couple of years now.
sftp is
broken in konqueror. IIRC, this is due to the sftp kioslave. I know we
have
raised and discussed this issue numerous time and as of 3/23/11, the plan
was a
complete re-write of the kioslave from scratch. (discussion on
opensuse/kde3
list with Robert, Ilya and Serghei)
Does anybody have a quick status on this issue?
Basic Synopsis:
In konqueror if you try:
sftp://hostname/dir
you get the error:
An error occurred while loading
sftp://nirvana.3111skyline.com
Unknown error
Error encountered while talking to ssh.
However, if I open konsole and issue sftp from the command line - no
problem:
20:28 valkyrie:~> sftp nirvana
Connected to nirvana.
sftp>
Here is a screenshot of the konqueror error:

If this is still broken, then I think it needs to be listed as a blocker
for
R14. sftp is a incredibly secure and useful protocol that konqueror
handled
flawlessly in the past. Should be working again.
The curious part is that fish continues to work. (i.e.:
fish://nirvana/home/david works just fine...)
What say the gurus?

Raise a bug report to blocker. I never received the promised kioslave
(please correct me if I am wrong; if it was sent a spam filter may have
eaten it), and the existing one should be fixed for R14.0.
