This seems to be a problem with ftp sites only. Normal navigation within this system is not a problem.<br>

The only konqueror thing I copied over from the .kde from 3.5.10 were the bookmarks. Perhaps something became confused as I immediately began file browsing with konqueror instead of the default Dolphin. I just looked in the default applications settings and it is set to use konqueror as the file manager. Perhaps these settings travel in the /kab or /kabc directories which I did copy over from kde-3.5.10<br>
