Please report any problems or +feature requests for it to the &kde; bugs website. + + + + +Using &knetattach; + + +As you will see in the screenshot below, the Network Folder Wizard currently allows +you to add four types of network folders: WebDav, FTP, +Microsoft +Windows (Samba) network drives and SSH. + + +Here's a screenshot of &knetattach; + + + + + +Screenshot + + +Network Folder Wizard main window + + + + + + + +Adding network folders + + +Network folders show up in a special location of &konqueror; called a +virtual folder. +This virtual folder is accessed by typing remote:/ in +&konqueror; Location bar. You will then be able to see +any folders which have been previously added and you also will be able to use +the wizard to add new ones. + +Here's a screenshot of &knetattach; + + + + + +Screenshot + + +The virtual folder with the Network Folder wizard + + + + + + +Speaking of wizards, the Network Folder Wizard aims at being very easy to use. +After opening the wizard you must choose the type of network folder you would +like to access. When you move on to the next screen you will just need to +fill in the requested information. The final step is entering your username and +login password for the network share you've chosen to access. + + +Below is a list of the information needed by the wizard to create the network folders. If an option is not +available for a particular folder it does not have to be entered. e.g. The Samba +folders do not require a Port entry. + + + + + +Name: + + +This is where you give a name to the network connection. It is limited only by +your imagination (or alphabet). + + + + +Server: + + +This is the address of the server you are attempting to add. It can be an +IP address or domain name. + + + + +Port: + + +Here you enter the port number you wish to connect to. The defaults are usually +sufficient. + + +Not available for Microsoft +Windows (Samba) folders. + + + + + + +Folder: + + +The path to the folder you wish to connect to should go here. + + + + +Create an icon for this remote folder + + +If this box is checked an icon will be created allowing access through the +remote:/ virtual folder. If it is not checked, a connection will be possible +but it will not be accessible from remote:/. + + +The Recent connection: option allows you to re-connect to the +last network mount point you connected to using the wizard whether an icon is created or not. + + + + + + +Use encryption + + +If checked the ability to make a secure connection will be enabled. + +Available only for WebDav folders. + + + + + + + + + + + +&knetattach; Walkthrough + + + +This will be a quick walkthrough of the Network Folder Wizard. Don't +blink or you might miss it. + + + +Below you see the main window of the Network Folder Wizard. It is here +that we choose what type of folder we want to add or connect to. For +the purposes of this walkthrough we will be using FTP. It contains most +of the options you will encounter while using the wizard. + + + + +Here's a screenshot of the &knetattach; main window + + + + + +Screenshot + + + + + + +OK, so we (as in me) have chosen to add an FTP folder. Below you see +an example of the type of information you will need to add for your particular +FTP server. After filling it in we press Save & +Connect +and wait for the magic. Oh yes, if your server requires validation of some kind +you will be prompted at this point before being allowed to connect. + + + + +Screenshot showing addition of FTP Folder +using &knetattach; + + + + + +Screenshot + + + + + + +So now we are all connected now and able to navigate our newly added share. Joy! + + + + +Screenshot of the connected FTP folder + + + + + +Screenshot + + + + + + +To get back to our network folders all that is necessary is typing remote:/ +in the Location: bar of &konqueror;. + + + + +Screenshot of the remote:/ virtual folder with the +added connection + + + + + +Screenshot + + + + + + +You can even add new folders from the same location by using the +Add a Network Folder link. Well that brings us to +the end of our walkthrough (told you it would be quick).
