I want to do some development on a web site using Quanta.  Previously I've 
been using HTML-Kit under Windows.  In HTML-Kit you can open an FTP directory 
directly and edit files there (it just copies the file to a temp location 
locally, then uploads when you hit save).  I did some research and read the 
archives of the Quanta list, and found that a) this question gets asked a lot 
and it really pisses off Eric Laffoon (the project leader), and b) the answer 
is just type ftp://yoursite.com into the Open File dialog and there are your 
files.  That's cool, and it works.  For opening the main folder.  Even for 
browsing the site.  But as soon as I go to open one of the files, I get a 
"Cannot open document" error.  Now, the real trick here, I think, is that I'm 
using a named login to go into the ftp site.  So, to open the site, I type in 
ftp://myusername:[EMAIL PROTECTED]  But in the error message I get, 
it says "Cannot open document  ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/index.html" 
(as an example).  Has it forgotten to pass the password along?  Am I missing 
a setting somewhere?  I've tried both on my Mandrake machine at home and my 
RedHat machine at work and get the same thing, so I don't think it's 
particular to a given machine.

Before you ask why I don't ask the Quanta developers, a) to avoid the wrath of 
Eric, and b) it's not a Quanta problem - the same thing happens if I try to 
browse the site with Konqueror and open the file that way.  It must be a KIO 
thing.

Anyone have any ideas?  Or am I subscribing to a KDE list now?

Ian
