I'm build a linux workstation for my wife -- her first linux box.
Since her last immersion in command line usage was back in CP/M day,
and then DOS before Windows, I am trying to set her up with as many
GUI solutions as possible. konqueror is, of course, a prime choice!
We both work on web sites, and move "stuff" to and fro a VPS we share.
In my own usage I've been using `sshfs` to mount the remote file system
on a mount point in my $HOME -- do whatever I needed to do -- then
unmount the remote file system. ... all at the command line.
An annoyance I've always cursed is the inability of `cp`, `mv`, or even
`rsync` to replicate the from_file permissions to the to-file's
permissions with the `sshfs` mounts -- because the owning userids are
different between the two file systems. Even tho', immediately after
getting the error message from `cp`, I can `chmod` the permissions to
what I want without any error. sigh...
That command line Miky-Maus was not something I wanted to foist on my
wife. So, I spent maybe an hour today trying to find a way around the
problem in general. No joy.
So, for the first time in my testing, I fired up konqueror with two
panes: one pane on $HOME/ amd the other pane on the already-mounted
remote file system.
Then I copied from a local directory a large collection of files with
many, many different possible permissions set all the way through the
public permissions. I was going to go through the "right click on the
file" => "Properties" => "permissions" => owner|group|others change
process to make a write up for her to follow.
KONQUEROR ROCKS!
The file were all copied up to the
remote file system WITH THE ORIGINAL FILE'S PERMISSIONS!!!
KONQUEROR ROCKS!
Thank you KDE; Thank you TDE; Thank you Trinity!!
(Gee... I sure hope that's not a bug!!! If so, DON'T FIX IT!!!)
Life is good!
