John,

Thanks for the suggestion. I should have been more clear, though; I
was hoping to avoid using sshfs because I have a number of different
remote sites that I need to connect to. Having access to the remote:/
kio_slave in my KDE 3.5.10 applications would make life easier rather
than trying to manage a cumbersome number of different sshfs mounted
directories, especially since many of my remote sites automatically
disconnect after a set period of time.
