Hi! I wonder if this backend can change servers/drives during a session. I don't know if there is technical term for it. I mean following situation in a terminal: I connect to a server (my university): ftp ftp-nw.fh-regensburg.de After login, I am on my personal folder. To access common folder for all the scripts on another server/drive I have to type two slashes cd //fh-kroesus/data1 In Nautilus nor in konqueror I found a possibility to change into such a directory, but every ftp standalone software can do that.
