Description Martin Pola 2011-08-17 09:41:53 UTC 
Version:           1.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When I try to login to my FreeBSD server by typing "sftp://user@host" in the address bar, the login fails. If I try the same by typing "sftp user@host" in a Konsole it works. I am 100% sure the password is correct.

After having attempted to login to the FreeBSD server, I see this in my auth.log:
error: PAM: authentication error for martin from 90.228.196.2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See "Details".

Actual Results:  
I get a "Authentication failed" message.

Expected Results:  
I expected to be logged in.
