Ummmm. Aside from 7-23 other tools for ftp, all of which are available
under kde (OK, the various cl ftp tools, from plain ftp, ncftp and more
to gftp and other available gui clients...) - a broken retrieval tool
does not mean that the source is closed.
But anyway, the point of the matter - which KFM version are you running -
I've got 1.167.2.21 (stock with 7.02), that works just fine at that site,
picked down the install-drakx... like a stroll in the park.
Let me save this message and boot into Hydrogen and see what success I
have there.... (insert Jeopardy music here) ....still the same kfm,
still the same behaviour - just works for me. Anything I can do to
help???
