Hi folks.

I use kde 4.8.3 on Gentoo and I have a problem with ftp and dolphin.
When ever I've been logged in into my ftp account dolphin asked
for every action for username and password which realy sucks.

If I use konqueror for ftp connection no problems. Konqueror asks
just for the first login and let me work without typing username and
passwort on every action.

Yes I can use konqueror but I like dolphin much more.
Does anyone have a solution for me?

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

If you place your username in the url, ie. ftp://user@ftpserver/path does it work properly?
Given that Konqueror and Dolphin share this functionality, I am quite surprised it works in Konqueror but not in Dolphin.

Hi.

Thank you for your reply.
I use ftp://username@mydomain.tld/path but this works only in
konqueror.

The problem with dolphin comes with kde 4.8.1 and it looks like
dolphin loose the connection.

How are you entering the URL into Dolphin for browsing the FTP server?
Are you entering a full url - or using the breadcrumbs?

Hi.

I enter the full URL in dolphin and in konqueror.
In konqueror no problems. Dolphin asked for every action
for password and username.

Ok, this will need the Dolphin developers assistance to debug unfortunately.

I've just had a look. I believe that this should be fixed in KDE 4.9 by the following commit:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/ff37139bcfa02973499c753df33eba19fdc347c5

Hi.

Thank you for the link.
I think that's the problem. I'll wait for
KDE SC 4.9 now.
