Description Dik Takken 2003-09-25 15:12:09 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:          Linux

When working on a FTP server, every operation seems to open a new connection. Sometimes Konqueror even creates a new FTP connection every time I change to a different directory, which is very annoying when the FTP connection is not very fast. 

This is not a problem of the FTP Server closing the connection after 5 seconds of inactivity. I tried to do the same with NcFTP, and each connection lasts 5 minutes without user activity. Konq's connections die much quicker.

It seems like the FTP KIO should be a lot more careful not to throw away a connection too quickly, and re-use connections for multiple operations.

I checked this again with KDE 3.2 Beta 1, the FTP behavior seems to be greatly improved. 

I will close this bug for now.
