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: kio_sftp(13215) kdemain: *** Starting kio_sftp kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::sftpProtocol: pid = 13215 kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::sftpProtocol: debug = kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::setHost: "cstdevweb" @ "spot" : 0 kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::closeConnection: kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::listDir: list directory: KUrl("sftp://USER@XX.XX.XX") kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::openConnection: username= "USER" , host= "spot" , port= 0 kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::openConnection: checking cache: info.username = "USER" , info.url = "sftp://USER@XX.XX.XX" kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::sftpOpenConnection: Creating the SSH session and setting options kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::sftpOpenConnection: Trying to connect to the SSH server kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::openConnection: Getting the SSH server hash kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::openConnection: Checking if the SSH server is known kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::openConnection: Trying to authenticate with the server kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::openConnection: Trying to authenticate with public key kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::openConnection: Trying to authenticate with keyboard interactive kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::authenticateKeyboardInteractive: name= "" instruction= "" prompts= 1 kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::authenticateKeyboardInteractive: prompt= "Password: " echo= "0" kio_sftp(13215) sftpProtocol::sftpLogin: connected ? false username: old= "USER" new= "USER"
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.
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

Dawit, does comment #3 provide the requested information? Please set the status.
(In reply to comment #5) > Dawit, does comment #3 provide the requested information? Please set the > status. 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.
