problems pointing KST2 to an ftp address

[James France]

Dear KST users,

I'm new to KST and have some issues in getting KST to access a file
located on an FTP source, I have tried various ways of getting the data
wizard and change data file to accept an ftp address, but with no luck.
I've tried on both a Windows build and Ubuntu and had the same problem.

If someone has had success in plotting from an FTP address, please could
you send me a methodology if you encountered similar problems.

The address I'm trying to link to is over a local network
ftp://192.168.100.200/data/file.txt
The ftp has no password or user requirements.

Thank you in advance

James

For various reasons related to kst's datasource model, kst does not use kio.
So, unfortunately, kst does not support ftp data sources.

However, I have found using sshfs to be a good alternative. I believe there
is a ftpfs equivalent as well, though I have not used it.

CurlFtpFS is available on ubuntu, and it looks like it would solve your problems.
