How to export to a remote computer?

[Choaga]

I've tried and tried to use the "Export to a Remote Computer" option in the KIPI plugins.  I have the kio-slave running.  But, nothing I put in the blocks (ftp, sftp, etc.) works.  What information is it looking for aside from the obvious <A HREF="sftp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com">sftp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com?  The options for Piwigo and PicasaWeb work great.

You normally can use every path that kio supports. Does eg.
/home/YOURUSER/Desktop work?

If not, please enable debug output for kio and kipiplugins in
kdedebugdialog, start digikam from a console, export a photo to a
location that doesn't work and send the debug messages here.

Johannes

Maybe I didn't explain myself fully.  I am running a gallery on a webhost.  I would like to export my photos to that gallery via ftp.  Is this possible?

Yes sure, this should work. Do you have write permissions on the target
folder?

Anyways, if it doesn't work, paste the console output here.

Permissions are set to 755

I'm afraid I don't see where to set the debug console on.

Can someone PLEASE tell me what this silly thing is looking for in an FTP connection?!  There is nowhere I can see to enter username and password.  Just point me in the right direction.... PLEASE!  If it's so easy, why are more people willing to impart some wisdom here??!!

Normally it is something like
"ftp://username:[hidden email]:portnumber". But remember FTP can
have Active or Passive connection (change default type in System
Settings), it can be encrypted (FTPS) or not, using different ports
then the standard and so on. You need to know exactly what the
FTP-server are using to be able to connect. I don't know what version
of KDE and Digikam you are using and that can make a difference to.
KIO could not use FTPS before, I don't know if it works now in latest
KDE.

It took me five seconds to find the answer in Wikipedia, searching for FTP.
See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol
Specially the "Web browser support" section.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Jonas.  It at seems all I had to do was put in my user name and DigiKam took over from there.  I was making it too difficult.
