Re: [gftp] SSL - SSH - How?
I need a bit more clarification from you. Is your problem with using
'gftp' under the KDE desktop (Kubuntu)? I use 'gftp' with the defalue
Gnome desktop (Ubuntu) without problems. If your problem is with using
'gftp' with the KDE desktop (Kubuntu), they I suggest installing the
Gnome Desktop. I have experienced some issue with GTK (which I think the
Gnome desktop uses). If you prefer to use the KDE desktop, then look for
a KDE ftp GUI tool; there is likely one.
