Kdenetwork4 Provides

[Was_Just19]

According to the details in Synaptic ........

K Desktop Environment - Network Applications
Networking applications for the K Desktop Environment.

- kdict: graphical client for the DICT protocol.
- kit: AOL instant messenger client, using the TOC protocol
- kpf: public fileserver applet
- krfb: Desktop Sharing server, allow others to access your desktop via VNC
- krdc: a client for Desktop Sharing and other VNC servers

 ...... KPF is provided in this package.

Is it actually provided?
If so what is it called please?

I cannot find it.

regards.

Not on my system but maybe you could see if you have this:
Kepas

Looks like a plasmoid, you should be able to get it installed.

TODO:

* Directory Transfer

BUGS:

* either the plasmoid or the trayicon can be started; not both !

Thanks Joble ........  seems it is the information provided in Synaptic that needs to be changed so.

Yep, all over the net people are looking for kpf and not finding it in kde4.

Do I need to do a Package Request or is this already being considered do you know?

It's up to the kde developers I think.  It hasn't been ported over to kde4 as far as I can tell.  A package suggest here would probably not help much.  

Maybe a request for Kepas but since it's a plasmoid can't be gotten through the add new plasmoids/widgets function?  If I find the time I'll give it a try but I got a lot on my plate right now.

I meant the Kepas package rather than the old KPF.

I failed to find it using the "install new widget" means.

Maybe you will have better luck when you get the time.

Thanks.

Well I downloaded it and you're right, kde add plasmoid does not recognize it.  Not that I doubted you, just wanted to see for myself.  Might wanna put it in package suggest.  I'll look at it, but if I can't build it, it will be ignored here most likely.  Might wanna make an official request for it.

You would be right to doubt me in this - particularly as I have no idea how those things work or are supposed to be installed or anything else about them to be truthful.   

Thanks for checking it out.

Well I didn't get it built but looks like someone managed!
