Pwnious Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Is there a step-by-step tutorial on setting up Kbear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 kbear is a graphical ftp or sftp client on kde, do you really need a tutorial on this? you just have to type the ip or hostname of the host you wish to access using kbear, and if you mean, how to install it... see below.. on mandriva root#urpmi kbear To satisfy dependencies, the following 2 packages are going to be installed (9 MB): kbear-2.1.1-14mdk.i586 libkbear2-2.1.1-14mdk.i586 Is this OK? (Y/n) y ok, after installing it, there is wizard that will let you do some initial set-up... the defaults works on my box, except on that firewall or proxy part, since I dont have one... then after setting the default, just click the quick connect button, then enter the hostname, username, and password and select the correct protocols you wish to use, ftp, sftp, fish, smb...

scarecrow Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 This is a dead bear (not fed for the last 2 years or so...), and a buggy bear as well. Look for another FTP client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Kbear was pants on my system and wrecked the toolbar at the bottom. I normally use gftp, but kftpgrabber is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) The kbear tray icon issue has been fixed, but hardly anything more than that. I can't connect using SFTP via kftpgrabber, other than that it's OK. FileZilla 3 seems to be the future, but not the present (still very beta/incomplete). Mostly I use FileZilla 2 (windows) via wine 0.9X. It works perfectly (only very minor visual glitches) without consuming significant resources, and supports normal FTP, TLS, SSL implicit and explicit, SFTP via putty libs... only FXP isn't an option. Sad that there's not any really good FTP client with GUI for Linux, but that's the truth... Edited January 16, 2006 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'm hoping FileZilla will port a Linux version sometime soon. I use it in Windows, just not tried in wine as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnious Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 sorry, I didn't mean kbear but the ftp server proftpd. How do I add users to login from a ftp client? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 unless of course you have a hacked up ftp server like mine (users in DB, chroot, quotas) but I'm guessing you don't otherwise you would know how to add users ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
