Description Neil Prockter 2007-07-20 17:42:25 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I'd like to be able to send the output of one session to the input of another

For example:

I've managed to get into a crashed server through a remote access method but the machine is not on the network.  I need to copy a file to it to get it back on the network.

In session 2 I uuencode the file

I set the output of session 2 to the input of session 1.

I startup vim in session 1 and go into input mode.

In session 2 I cat the file

I stop the redirection

Session 1 now have the file it needs (after soeme tidying and uudecoding)

Your suggestion strikes me as highly error-prone.  Is there any reason why you would not use a standard file copying tool such as scp or sftp?

When I need this I am connected to a servers console through a remote access card so no network to the server is available.

I'd script it to make it less error prone

I honestly do not think this feature will be useful to enough people to justify adding it to Konsole.

I will be happy to review patches but otherwise this is not something that I plan to implement.
