The tests that are needed are simply to open
konqueror file manager (or
kwrite, or kate) and then just enter a sftp address (and
compare with fish).
fish should work, sftp should fail. The address form you
should use is:
sftp://username@www.myhostname.com:port/dir1/dir2/
and so on
It can be as simple as
sftp://hostname
(for local network)
** kde will use your default username and default port (22)
As long as ssh is configured, you should connect fine
-- but it fails due to
the bug. The do the same thing with fish://
fish://username@www.myhostname.com:port/dir1/dir2/
It also can be as simple as:
fish://hostname
I can use fish:// and connect in TDE (I use it a
lot). But sftp is what we
need to fix. I still have some older opensuse 11.0 boxes at
the office I can
test and compare ssh connect strings with. The sftp:// still
works on openSuSE
11.0 with the old openssh version. Any testing you can do
will just help. If you
don't have a test host for remote ssh connections, let me
know, I can set one up
for you.
I can test fish on my own network. I use SSH many times every day.
I don't have an FTP server set up here. Do I need that?
