Quick Kubuntu time saver
Kubuntu and most good Linux distributions give you a great graphical interface to work on. This makes using Linux a very intuitive affair. One thing that Kubuntu makes easy is transferring files across a network. Using the Konqueror interface and the fish protocol you can easily and securely transfer files between Linux machines with simple drag and drop.
While this is fine for one or two small files it quickly becomes tedious when transferring large files or many files or directories. I am not saying tedious as in it is a drag to do (yes the pun is intentional) but in that it seems to take a very long time to do it.
It is true. Using Konqueror and the fish protocol to copy files takes a lot longer than it should. Using etherape to visually watch how the traffic flow is going I noticed that the network was not being used to full capacity.
