That's an interesting idea, thanks! - I assume you mean with the Java code 
implementing the transport etc running as a sort of server, communicating 
with the real kio_slave via signals/slots... I'll have to read up more on QT 
and signal/slots I think!

That's what I've done so far. See

http://ralph.mvc.mcc.ac.uk/~djn/spip/article.php3?id_article=11

I thought I'd solved the problem but it's turning out to be much more 
compilicated to compile the stuff that implements the interface to 
GridFTP-it's got a very long dependency chain of security jars... I haven't 
given up yet but I thought I'd try a different tack:-)

A Java template in KDevelop would definitely be the nicest solution in the 
long-run!
