Description Nilesh Bansal 2004-12-13 11:25:26 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.3 
OS:                Linux

konqueror forgets to close ftp connection before exiting. 

Open a ftp with konqueror (ftp://localhost/) and now close konqueror window. Even after you have closed konqueror, ftp server will show you logged in. You can do a "ps -fe | grep ftp" and check that a kio_ftp process is still running (and will click running untill FTP server timeout occurs).

This behaviour of konqueror is very irritating when FTP server allows say only 1 simultaneous connection.

Hmm, new konqueror instances should reuse your ftp connection. That's part of the deal of leaving FTP connections open
Comment 2 Nilesh Bansal 2005-01-04 14:19:11 UTC 
But in practice, It is very unlikely that a person will close a konqueror with an open ftp connection and then open a new instance of konqeror and open the same ftp site again. In most practical situations, this open connection is useless and hence it is desirable that we close it with konqueror.
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2005-01-04 14:47:36 UTC 
Yes, it's unlikely that a person will close a konqueror and open a new konqueror. But it's likely that you surf on knoppix.de for an ISO and then
open it in k3b. Just an example - but I agree that it's safer to close the
connection and reopen if needed
Comment 4 Unknown 2008-05-16 22:05:40 UTC 
I can confirm it.
KDE 4.0.4 leaves the "kdeinit4: kio_ftp" thread open after closing Konqueror.
Comment 5 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-06-11 04:35:51 UTC 
This has been addressed with the rewrite of the KIO scheduler in KDE 4.5.0
