I'm build a linux workstation for my wife -- her first linux box.
Since her last immersion in command line usage was back in CP/M day,
and then DOS before Windows, I am trying to set her up with as many
GUI solutions as possible.  konqueror is, of course, a prime choice!

We both work on web sites, and move "stuff" to and fro a VPS we share.
In my own usage I've been using `sshfs` to mount the remote file system
on a mount point in my $HOME -- do whatever I needed to do -- then
unmount the remote file system. ... all at the command line.

An annoyance I've always cursed is the inability of `cp`, `mv`, or even
`rsync` to replicate the from_file permissions to the to-file's
permissions with the `sshfs` mounts -- because the owning userids are
different between the two file systems.  Even tho', immediately after
getting the error message from `cp`, I can `chmod` the permissions to
what I want without any error.  sigh...

That command line Miky-Maus was not something I wanted to foist on my
wife.  So, I spent maybe an hour today trying to find a way around the
problem in general.  No joy.

So, for the first time in my testing, I fired up konqueror with two
panes: one pane on $HOME/ amd the other pane on the already-mounted
remote file system.

Then I copied from a local directory a large collection of files with
many, many different possible permissions set all the way through the
public permissions.  I was going to go through the "right click on the
file" => "Properties" => "permissions" => owner|group|others  change
process to make a write up for her to follow.

KONQUEROR ROCKS!

The file were all copied up to the
remote file system WITH THE ORIGINAL FILE'S PERMISSIONS!!!

KONQUEROR ROCKS!

Thank you KDE;  Thank you TDE; Thank you Trinity!!

(Gee... I sure hope that's not a bug!!!  If so, DON'T FIX IT!!!)

Life is good!
