this is more a wish, it might result in a bug for your setup, but is generally not a unwanted feature, to load multiple files at once can have speed benefits, and is common kde practice This happens also when resuming a session with many files opened using sftp. This is a problem in the kio framework, and there is light at the end of the tunnel - related issues are being discussed at the kde-devel mailing list. I know this bug is quite old, but it's the only one I can find regarding this issue. This behavior is highly undesirable for remote connections where you have 20, 30, or even 50 files in a session. Most servers frown on a sudden influx of 50 connections within a second or two, and you'll either get blocked by the firewall or the majority of files will not load as the connections are refused beyond a certain threshold. I run into this issue with Kate. Please provide an option to limit the number of simultaneous connection to a user selectable maximum. At the very least indicate in the sidebar which documents failed, and offer to reload from the contextual menu.
This is not a wishlist item, it is a blocking BUG.
Right now I use a script to load the files I need in sequence. I hope this workaround will help others.
#!/bin/bash
filelist="list of sftp urls"
session="Session $$"
kate --use --start $session
for file in filelist
do
kate --start $session --use "$file" &
# give Kate some time to open the remote file to avoid swamping the server.
sleep 1
done
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** I can confirm this behaviour with latest trunk. As previously stated, it is likely due to opening so many sftp connections and so it causes bug #122036 to occur. I think this should be reclassified as a BUG and not as a feature request since having more that 10 or so files in a session causes most of the files not to open and means that I have to click 'Ok' on the SFTP connection dialog for every single file. *** Bug 122036 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fixed due to new KIO scheduler in trunk.

I found that this is indeed fixed when I open multiple text files at once from dolphin through a sftp connection, however if I drag and drop those files directly from dolphin to kate the issue persists. Exatly the same happens if, alternatively, I open those files directly from the kate open menu.
