kioclient exec sftp://USER@XX.XX.XX used to bring up a dialog that allowed to tick "remember password"
For a number of versions kubuntu now this has stopped working on my desktop (but not my laptop). I cannot figure out what is causing this. I have created a blank account but it is exactly the same there. 
Using the ftp protocol the "remember password" shows up
Using the sftp command line client works

I have enabled debug logging but nothing there really:

I cannot personally reproduce this. I get the "Remember password" checkbox. Are you usuing the same version on both your laptop and desktop computers ? Is KWallet disabled on your desktop computer ? If so, then you will never get the "Remember password" checkbox.

waiting for response to question in comment #1.

Comment 3 mimo 2013-06-04 10:03:27 UTC

As I mentioned, using the FTP protocol I get a "remember password" box. My kwallet is running and used by kmail and various akonadi services. 
Looking into my kwallet I can even see the password for the sftp account and server I'm trying to use.
Probably there is a weird (old) library somewhere I guess. But I really don't know. Here the output from ldd -v /usr/lib/kde4/kio_sftp.so

Thanks for looking into this

Yes, but I cannot reproduce this problem ; so I will put it back to UNCONFIRMED.

Bug happens for me also, with KDE for Windows 4.10.2. As is detailed by OP, smb/ftp/webdavs all use kwallet, but sftp shows a password prompt with no "save" tickbox.

Some things that may be helpful:
1. I copied my ~/.kde/share/apps/remoteview/*.desktop files from another machine.
2. I originally ONLY installed Kate and its dependencies. I used sftp connections from within Kate before kwallet was installed. Afterwards I installed kwallet. It is possible that my smb/ftp/webdavs mounts weren't accessed prior to kwallet installation.

Should be fixed in the meantime, please reopen if this still is the case.
