All, Not sure where to look for this. I have always kept kate projects different things like, different application development, different web-site editing, etc... Many of the projects I keep on my Arch server and have kate open the files via the sftp kioslave (or whatever it is called now) For some reason, now when I open remote projects on the server, the first 15 or so files open without issue. Anything over that fails with a connection error and the files are opened as "Untitled" and are empty (simply pressing "Reload" completes the opening without issue), but that has to occur after kate is open, and not when the project is attempting to load the files sequentially all at once. The journal shows no error, just the normal sshd key authorization, etc. as session through (c17) are opened, e.g. Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9269]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56170 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9268]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56168 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9269]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9268]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie systemd-logind[539]: New session c5 of user david.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? I don't any longer, but there were times in the past I would have 120 files in a project and had no problems at all opening the project either across the LAN or remotes via the internet on my office server. So this seems like it is some protection designed to prevent hackers from hammering your server with ssh requests -- but it seems like it is having the side effect of preventing me from loading projects with more than say 20 files via sftp. -- David C.
