No: with cacheing on, I don't get ftp in the list of available protocols in Quanta, \
whether passive ftp is checked or not (I've also tried restarting Quanta between \
changes to make sure it's not holding onto anything).   If I change to 'connect \
directly to the internet', the protocol appears in Quanta and everything works.   \
This is a bit negative, since it implies that even if I use Squid's setup to disable \
cacheing for the upload servers, KDE still won't recognise it as possible.  Looking \
at one or two pages covering Squid, it seems that there's no easy way round this: \
I'll just hae to rmember to change the settings when I wnat to upload something.   \
Presumably Quanta won't get upset at the ftp slave not being available unless/until I \
actually tell it to upload something, so I can still develop stuff and test locally \
without any hassle.  (Sorry about the multiple post on the last message, by the way - \
                I managed to do something to make Kontact crash).
