Re: Konqueror for mac

For SSH I've found it's easier to SSH to the Mac than from it. There are some SSH clients and you can use the CLI to SSH out but the clients are pretty iffy at best. Filezilla the free version works if you want to dump everything in /public as that seems to be the only dir it'll allow you to navigate to. There's a pro/paid version which I'm not at all interested in. sFTP client app works after a fashion but pretty poorly. Same with gah forgot name of it. Used to be a pretty good ssh client for the Mac but no longer supported apparently. No longer able to sort dirs by date or name or reliably see files or reliably know if you are overwriting a file anymore. 

Turning SSH on and off is fairly simple. Got  to security settings, turn remote connections on/off. You can ssh into the mac from any Linux app that supports sFTP. I use Konquerer myself usually. 

There are a few alternate file browser apps to Finder but I've not been especially impressed by any. Commander One is the best I've tried so far. It has sFTP support and works fine for uploading things to a web server. Not so well moving files between Linux  and other Macs. I think you have to go with pro version now to get sFTP, used to be in free version. Turns out Krusader has a Mac version. I am about to try it out. If it does it has a good sFTP version built in. Apparently Krusader is part of Mac ports so that functionality is almost certainly enabled.

Thank you very much really. I had a laptop with openSUSE installed and I was using Konqueror for ssh connections also like to capabilty of splitting windows. It is really easy to copy files between home and ssh folders by "fish" application. My old laptop was broken and now im using a macbook but other file transfer programs such as transmit doesnt work as well as Konqueror. So i will install a linux version to inside mac. Thank you very much again

Not easily. You may find a more or less crippled version in HomeBrew, or you could go through the lengthy process of using my MacPorts custom ports tree to get a less crippled (but probably less up-to-date) version (but that does use an up-to-date QtWebKit-rebooted version).

As a web browser, Konqueror is rather strongly inspired by (or at least looks a lot like) the Safari versions of its time, and the original HTML engine (KHTML) is even at the basis of the WebKit engine used in Safari. Nowadays I think most users will use Konqueror with the QtWebEngine backend, which makes it just another Chromium clone, with an engine that is only as up-to-date as Qt and the Linux distribution allow and that is too complete overkill for quick browsing of, say, local documentation in HTML format.

If you're looking to use it as a web browser on Mac, just stick with Safari (or, if you use an older OS X version like I, use Firefox Developer Edition). Konqueror's other functions on Linux are largely moot and tricky to deploy on Mac (but then I never really got their point on Linux either).
