Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't. I've had several reinstallations on my laptop over the last few months for a few various reasons, and I've noticed that on some installations it 'just works' and on some it doesn't. I'm connecting from KDE 3.3 on FreeBSD 5.3 to a FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine. All I get in my output in the status bar is 'Connecting...' before it eventually times out. Yup, I can SSH in normally from this location. Fish just doesn't work. So is this feature dodgy as far as anyone knows? It's a real pain in the arse when it doesn't work, because fish is extraordinarily handy for copying files using a GUI without having to implement something like FTP. So how irritating when it doesn't work :-) PS: I've never been so sure as to where to post queries like this -- freebsd-questions or one of the KDE mailing lists, or both. But I guess it can't hurt to post to either. And I choose here :) -- Adam Smith Internode : http://www.internode.on.net Phone : (08) 8228 2999
