problems pointing KST2 to an ftp address

[C Barth Netterfield]

For various reasons related to kst's datasource model, kst does not use kio. 
So, unfortunately, kst does not support ftp data sources.

However, I have found using sshfs to be a good alternative.  I believe there 
is a ftpfs equivalent as well, though I have not used it.
