Ha! I could build that in Kommander in a few hours! Seriously though, looks
nice, but also looks only local.

Actually now that Kommander can make KParts and Andras put in the project menu
to easily load a part with a file name this was one of the things I was
thinking of doing now for the KDE3 version. It would be a KPart, and I was
thinking of using a PHP file for remote, but as I can do KIO in some ways
that is also possible. However I might need have a challenge listing a
directory with KIO and I don't want to embed a part for this.
However for the KDE4 version my primairly thought was that anything we do
should integrate with the Actions. So if someonewanted to use a program like
Sitecopy or something else, or include a script that ran on site, that we
could insure they could access what they want easily either through the
upload dialog or even in place of it.

It would be best just upload checksums with a file and check them on upload.

Possibly, but you're on the right track. You can have it do an Action before
or after upload. So now the question is whether the Action just processes or
can halt the upload, or whether the upload checks the status of an action and
can halt if it is negative... probably the better course. It is a matter of
how to most rationally insure the two are aware of each other.

My compliments Niko. You really do a good job thinking about the
possibilities. Thankfully Andras still lets me take responsibility for a few
of the ideas in Quanta too. ;-)
