<html><head></head><body>By rewriting I mean only necessary changes. After all I do not want break everything and change architecture. So I would prefer sticking to sshfs <br>
And I must admit that I am rare windows user: KDE is second to none since 2008 =)<br>
<br>
I will eventually take a look at sshfs version for windows and figure out how to leverage it.. as I know it is not direct port from fuse but rather based on <a href="http://Dokan.net">Dokan.net</a>. I will try to cover more details in the actual proposal. <br>

I must admit though that I don't love the fact that<br /> you're talking so much about rewritting, I want to read about<br /> improvements, so if there's anything to be rewritten (and in fact I<br /> agree the sftp plugin is a good candidate) please explain well what<br

Sentences like "everything needs to be rewritten" are<br /> bad.<br /><br /> For example, KIO is really available and working on Windows, maybe<br /> there's something better you can do? What would you use instead? Is<br /> ssh the problem? Or sshfs itself? How do you plan to integrate it on<br /> Windows?<br /> Maybe what we want in the end is not SFTP-kind-of-thing but actual<br /> file synchronization...<br /><br /> Aleix<br /><hr /><br /> KDEConnect mailing list<br /> KDEConnect@kde.org<br /> <a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdeconnect">https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdeconnect</a><br /></blockquote></blockquote><br /><br />Maybe a good first approach would be to have a GSoC that makes sure<br />KDE Connect works great on Windows/OS X/Gnome rather than going to<br />different mobile platforms that are admittedly harder.<br /><br />Aleix<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
