Description Ross Boylan 2007-08-08 17:09:00 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I enabled "Personal File Sharing" on an iMac laptop on my LAN, but can't seem to see the files from KDE.  I have a pretty full installation of KDE including kdnssd (4:3.5.5-5 on Debian/testing), and I have avahi and friends installed (but dbus is not enabled for avahi).

avahi-browse does show the service: it lists the name of the
workstation and "Apple File Sharing" along with a number of other
services.

However, when I browse in Konqueror (via zeroconf:/), "shared desktops" and "Remote shell (ssh)" are the only entries.  Clicking on "shared desktops" launches a remote desktop (RDP) app, and the connection then fails ("the connection to the host has been interrupted").

I have also looked in other network spots in Konqueror, without luck.  I was able to transfer the files using rsync (i.e., ssh).

The laptop connects to my LAN via a wireless access point.

I'm not sure if this is a missing feature, a bug, or something I have misunderstood.  I've posted to debian-user and kde-linux but got only 1 response that didn't help.

Whilst KDE is able to detect the presence of Apple File Protocol (AFP) using the zeroconf protocol, it is - as yet - unable to speak the protocol (afp over tcp) [nor the even older afp over appletalk].

There is hope in the form of the afpfs-ng project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/afpfs-ng ) which may hopefully one day be able to be intergrated into KDEs Lan Browser.
