SOLVED
Konqueror, for some reason showed a better error message than dolphin and after providing the correct folder, it connected.
Yesterday, I was able to successfully connect to a web server via adding the correct entries. I then edited a file with kate to make sure that the changes are saved and it all worked.
Today, I updated KaOS (41 packages?) and I am no longer able to connect to an FTP server with Dolphin.
I am logged in via the terminal and can browse the ftp server but for web design this is not ideal as I would prefer a gui.
Are any of you able to do this and should I use a different file manager?
Thanks for any pointers. - v
P.S. The error message is:
Unable to connect to server. Please check your settings and try again.
The terminal can connect with identical (copy/paste) settings. Dolphin can not.
