I've used Konqueror as a graphical sftp frontend in the past under GNU/Linux. It doesn't work on my FreeBSD 5.1 system. For example, if I type ftp://rfroese@taganov.com It works fine. If I type sftp://rfroese@taganov.com I get a dialogue box that says "Error encountered while talking to ssh." When I dismiss the dialogue, Konqueror displays the text: "An error occured while loading sftp://rfroese@taganov.com: Could not connect to host localhost" Interestingly, http://localhost/ works just fine but sftp://localhost/ does not, and throws the same errors. This suggests to me that the problem is with how ssh and Konqueror conspire to act as a gui sftp client. Ideas? Advice would be greatly appreciated! ...Robert -- Robert Froese, RPF Assistant Professor, Forest Biometrics School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science Michigan Technological University, Houghton MI.
