Bug 66117

It requires TCPSlaveBase support in kio_ftp first.  Implementing all the SSL stuff separately in kio_ftp would be aweful.

I just wanted to let KDE developers know about the Kasablanca project (http://kasablanca.berlios.de/).  I have no relationship with this project but it may be helpful to collaborate and incorporate this into an sftp:// IOSlave or the existing ftp:// IOSlave.

sftp:// is nice (great in fact) but it doesn't work everywhere.  There really aren't a lot of good free FTP over SSL client implementations out there and I think this would be a great addition to Konqueror.

In the meantime, the TLSWrap project (http://tlswrap.sunsite.dk/) provides a client-side TLS proxy so you can connect to FTP/SSL-only sites using Konqueror.

Er,

FTP over SSL is ftps://
Secure file transfer via SSH2 is sftp://

Sorry, I always screw that up even when I try to be careful.

Although I don't see what that has to do with SSL because it doesn't mention it at all.

Hello,

it would be fine, if ftp over ssl would supported by konqueror. All can I do, I do with konqueror. Unfortunatley my provider doesn't support sftp (ssh!), so I have to use my passwords unencrypted.

I hope you find time to develop that feature.


Thanks in advance,

Hi,

if implemented it would be great if you would also support SSCN for fxp transfers as i suggested here ( -> http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66113 ).

Thanks :)

Are there any plans to implement this great KIO?

Not by me.

Just to elaborate on Comment #8 (that just contains a link without text):
There already is a working ftps kioslave package. It would be nice if it could be integrated into KDE though.

I've never been contacted by any developer of kio_ftps.

*** Bug 136517 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Are any of the developers motivated to look at http://kasablanca.berlios.de/kio-ftps/ to see if it's code that could be incorporated into KDE? Blurb sounds promising - it builds on the existing kio slave:

"An ftps KIO slave for KDE, based on rfc4217 and build upon the ftp KIO-slave sources. it should work yet with most server implementations. it issues an "AUTH TLS" command after connecting and refuses to continue, when it's not supported. in prior to every data channel io command ("STOR", "RETR", etc) it tries to secure the data channel via "PBSZ" and "PROT" commands. if that fails it will transfer data unencrypted. there is currently no support for ssl-certificates. this might be added on demand.

Sounds like the work's already done - it just needs someone with developer skills to review it for inclusion.

License is GPL.

There's one catch with that project (which is also mentioned in the blurb): there's no support for SSL certificates, which renders this KIOSlave unusable for me.

any plans to support FTPES (FTP over Explicit TLS/SSL) in dolphin? (like FTP and FTPS)?

any notice to support FTPES (FTP over Explicit TLS/SSL) in dolphin/Kio?

Any progress here?

Many webhosters don't allow SFTP for filetransfer.
Instead, FTPS can be used (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS).

Please add this feature to Dolphin.

FTPS is already added to Dolphin with this a/m kio slave.
E.g. in Ubuntu it is already available as "official" package, the package's name is kio-ftps.

Since there is no support for ftpEs this Bug should remain open.

Created attachment 82317 [details]
screenshot tls handshake warning

well, true, ftps is currently available, but as mentioned earlier (comment #17), at least barly usable, as it spits out multiple warnings on each connect (see attachment),
over and over again.
would be great if this could at least be confirmed for a known site, so not pop up next time anymore.

Hi, again

any notice to support FTPES (FTP over Explicit TLS/SSL) in dolphin/Kio?

greetings

Although there is to be some support in KDE SC 4 (but please see comment #17, it doesn't work very well apparenlty), there is no FTPS support in Plasma / KF 5, as kio-ftps has not been ported to 5. Thus this is still a missing feature at the moment.

The berlios link is no longer working, but it seems this guys started porting this kio-ftps to KF5:

Hello, 
I'm also in need of an FTPES connection by means of Dolphin, which is actually undoable. It works with nautilus of pcmanfm, however, but I prefer to use Dolphin.
