Tell me if I've misunderstood. The way it is designed to work is that the FTP proxy is read from .config/kioslaverc, and that is working as expected. The problem is that libproxy picks up a wrong value for the SOCKS proxy, from your environment variables. For whatever reason libproxy uses the http_proxy environment variable for this, which sounds like a bug in libproxy. > In the console, I ran > export PX_FORCE_CONFIG=kde > dolphin > > and tried to access the FTP servers that I can no longer reach with the > current Plasma versions, and the difference from not using that environment > variable is that now Dolphin stays stuck forever trying to access the remote > server, shows no error, and in the console it stays like this: > > org.kde.dolphin: could not find entry for charset= "Other encoding ()" > org.kde.UserFeedback: failed to probe user feedback submission interface: > "Host telemetry.kde.org not found" "" > kf.kio.workers.ftp: Can't open for listing > kf.kio.workers.ftp: Can't open for listing That looks like the proxy part is working as expected and it fails on something else.

That's an unrelated topic, let's focus on one thing at a time -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
