Except for that I have no idea if ftp supports copying on the same server at 
all (thus can be implemented) and whether sftp is ftp inside ssl I would like 
to raise my hand for doing right this once in a while. (huh, no, this is sadly 
no volunteerring to do this, am working to get KHexEdit2 a great architecture

Which is not funny on a v.56 connection when you just had the idea to organize 
your files on the university server, especially if you forgot to have a look

will be costly. Konqueror is soo comfortable that it is dangerous) :}
