OK. Got that. > > Then on your Mandrake machine open a konqueror window and enter in the url > line > fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED] I did this and got an error on the mandrake box. "Protocol not supported fish" I am using Mandrake 9.0 / KDE (konqueror 3.0.5a I went to the mandrake control center and looked for kio-fish or fish to install but I did not find anything. I googled and found your info on your site, but I was not able to access the server you linked to, and the other links from google had similar results. How do I go about getting kio-fish for my mandrake box? > > You will then see the file system of the Suse machine displayed in konqueror, > and you can just frag and drop files into it.. > > You could probably do it from Suse to Mandrake too. I just do not know if Suse > include the kio_fish plugin for konqueror. I tried this (going from SuSE to Mandrake)and did not get the same error. "could not connect to localhost" My SuSE box is more up to date than my Mandrake box (I have KDE 3.1.4 on it, thanks to apt). What should I do on my Mandrake box to allow me to get to it from my SuSE box? > > kio_fish is a plugin for konqueror whuch uses sftp (secure ftp) to transfer > files between the machines.

I thought you were supposed to do that in Evolution when you are using it to manage multiple accounts. Thanks for your help, -=Thinker
