I don't know how the ftp client of kfm is implemented, but if it is wrapping an ftp client, and parsing its output, it occurred to me that it may be having problems with columns of text running together. For example kfm doesn't show the file "big_file" which is there in ftp: drwxr-xr-x 2 jgrg informati 512 Jul 16 11:36 ad_hoc drwxr-xr-x 3 jgrg informati 512 Jan 12 1999 anno -rw-r--r-- 1 jgrg informati1000000 Nov 19 14:35 big_file -rw-r--r-- 1 jgrg informati 738406 Oct 26 18:44 bioperl-live.tar.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 jgrg informati 512 Feb 11 1999 course If I type the full path of big_file into the location bar, then it fetches the file OK.
