I know the dialog you mean, it looks a standard 'find a folder' dialog=20
provided by KDEs libraries.  Looking at KDESVN application it has the same=
=20
dialog, exactly, bar the title of the window, so modification would be an=20
upstream thing (kdelibs?), probably.  Also KDE is moving to the 4 series, a=
nd=20
I don't think there will be much more development in the current series=20
(3.5.x), and I believe string (text) updates are pretty much locked?

I will explain briefly, because your other email messages indicate you are =
new=20
to KDE.
KDEs libraries provide kio slaves which allow you to access remote network=
=20
locations (and other media) just like local files.  The applications really=
=20
know no difference between working with a local file and a remote file (loc=
al=20
files are technically refered to as FILE:/path/to/file and remote files by=
=20
their protocol - others are handy such as media:/ which lets you access loc=
al=20
media such as cdrom and USB memory drives).
You can check this in Konqueror, or any other standard KDE application (Kat=
e,=20
Kword, or Quanta), by typing the full reference=20
(ftp:/user@server/path/to/file)
Other protocols for web development that are handy are FISH and SFTP and FT=
PS=20
which are much more secure then plain FTP. SFTP and FISH work over ssh (and=
=20
only require SSH shell access), and FTPS is FTP with SSL, so they are all=20
secure by default, and are preferred if you can use them.
If you want to look into it further the wikipedia might be a good place to=
=20
start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIO


Hope this is of some help....
