Konqueror automatic http:// prefix in url address

Help, I am provisioning a new Ubuntu 14.04 VPS distro with TDE R14 installed via SSH. I managed to get a remote TDE desktop via X2GO on a Macbook (I couldn't get X2GO to work on a Linux PC, and the VPS vendor no longer supports FreeNX). I normally use SFTP in konqueror to cut and paste file and directory transfers between machines. When I try to enter an sftp:// url, Konqueror prefixes it with http://. How do I stop this behavior. -- Joseph 'Bear' Thames MetaCalculus, LLC and Meta Science Foundation (505) 977-9024 - Cell Phone beartham(a)gmail.com
