From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Description of problem: The menu entry 'copy link location' is missing in konqueror's FTP mode, it is available in HTTP mode. That function is really useful when you browse a FTP server with konquerer but would like to download files to another machine (a buildmachine maybe) with wget/ncftp/whatever. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1.2-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a website in konqueror and select a link with the right mousebutton 2. check that the 'copy link location' is there 3. open a ftp site in konqueror and select a link with the right mousebutton 4. look for a means to copy the URL of a file into the cut&paste buffer, it's not possible at the moment. Additional info:
Simple selecting and copy does work? I assume that this isn't really a bug. Changing to NEEDINFO.
No, that isn't enough. Example: I usually start konqueror locally and look for package updates, but I'm working on a remote machine with my CVS repository. Select and copy would download the new package to my local machine and I would have to transfer the package to the remote machine manually. In konquerors http mode I just select 'copy link location' and paste that to a wget or ncftpget commandline on the remote machine. In the first case I'd transfer the file twice vs. once with the second case.
I understand your reason, but you can actually paste it to wget on commandline. I do it quite frequently, just by selecting the item, either CTRL+C or Copy from menu and then paste it by SHIFT+INSERT into Konsole. Perhaps I am missing something in your argument.
