Drag and drop into Konsole

Posted in Technicalon Feb 2, 2007

I found a very cool thing today.  I use KDE on Linux.  One of the things I like best about KDE is that it supports psudo- filesystems such as fish, which allows you to access a remote filesystem over ssh.  I wanted to copy a file that was on a remote system into a local directory.  Without thinking, I did the mouse drag-and-drop action to move the file.  Except that I dropped the file into Konsole, the KDE terminal program.  A popup menu appeared with several options, one of which was ‘cp’ which I selected.  The result was that the file was copied from the remote server to the current working directory in my KDE terminal.  My terminal showed that it had run a command in order to copy the file, which was:

 kfmclient copy ‘fish://username@remoteserver.com/tmp/filename’ .

This is extremely cool, and I’m definately going to have to use it a little bit more often.

Converted all my SSL apps to Google App Engine. I didn't want to have to pay for my own SSL certificate any more, and App Engine allows for SSL sites with valid and recognized certificates (on their appspot.com domain) for free.
