Hands on help: FTP for the KDE desktop

How to access files via an FTP connection

PCW Staff, Personal Computer World 29 Sep 2006

Q In KDE, is it possible to set up an FTP connection so I can access my files like on a normal hard drive? I’ve heard it is, but I can’t figure out what to do.
Julian Clarke

A It is indeed. Launch an instance of Konqueror and select ‘Network Folders’ from the ‘Go’ menu. Click the ‘Add a Network Folder’ icon to get a wizard to help set up the connection. Leave the user name blank if you want to log in by anonymous FTP.

In the Save dialogue for all KDE applications, select the FTP server, and you can access the server from any Konqueror window seamlessly. For one-off FTP connections, simply enter ftp:// followed by the server name in a Konqueror window.
