Thanks Brain and Malcolm. I am using a version of Konqueror which I imagine
is 3 years old. I am not able to connect to certain FTP servers, which
either require encrypted authentication or something else. I am not an FTP
server expert, but I just know that Konqueror does not work (for me) under
certain circumstances. I then use gFTP instead, which oddly enough is
installed remotely, so I FTP (using Konqueror) to pass the files and then
SSH to use gFTP remotely. For a small number of files I can use FireFTP or
cPanel's File Manager instead.
Unlike some other FTP clients, Konqueror rarely gives me a hard time. Other
clients tend to freeze in the sense that transfers go idle. I then must
restart.
