As you say it works ok using ftp, but whatever I try I can't get it to use fish either. I have Konqueror using fish, so deleted the RSA key in /home/user_name/.ssh/known_hosts on the machine that I have Kbear on. Then on Kbear I entered the IPaddress of the other machine I wanted to access, selected the fish protocol, with login name , and password, and path to the directory I wanted to access. This then created a new RSA key. So far so good. But then got a refusal to connect. Either the fish protocol just don't work on Kbear, or we are doing something wrong. I think the best tactic is to contact the Kbear developer, as nothing else is coming back off of the list. Either I can contact him, or you, or perhaps both of us, to put on the pressure. Annoying isn't it. Nigel. ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
