To browse the LAN, open Konqueror and type
lan://localhost
on the Location Bar. All
machines on the network offering LAN services are
displayed.
Double click on the host you are interested in and you are presented with virtual folders named after the service they are associated to (see Figure 16.4, “LAN Virtual Folders”). Virtual folders' names are self-explanatory. The ones that might need further explanation are:
Provides SSH (secure-shell) access to the machine. An attempt is made to login to that machine using your SSH credentials when you double click this folder.
Provides access to shares on UNIX® and UNIX®-like servers. An attempt is made to access available NFS shares on the server when you double click this folder.
Provides access to shares on a Windows® server. All shares you have access to are displayed when you double click this folder.
Once you are connected to the service, you can manage the files on the remote server as if they were local, using the same techniques in a transparent way.
