[kdewebdev-webdeveloper] Quanta/KDEwebdevIDE network interface question

[Hector A. Del Manzano]

I have searched in the komander and Quanta +3.2 manuals to no avail.

I have just taken over as official "webmaster" at a big site (not really
big, just big) and the original webdevelopment/design/admin has been
done from windows with the usual tools.  I learned html thanks to quanta
and have always used it for all my projects.  I really really feel sick
to my stomach when I am forced to use FrontPage, as now.
  
The problem is the web server resides on one of the main machines at the
University's backbone and people here have always used FP's>> Open
10.10.5.13 yadda yadda... because it is external to my office and have
no hope to access it as ssh or sftp.

konqueror is able to explore the filesystem but they are using some sort
of asp/tunneling mojo that makes the webserver files invisible.  I have
strained my Micro$ft muscle and have learned that they call this a Web
Folder, or Shared WebFolder; the kind that one adds with "add a network
place" in "My Network places" or something very similar.  FP is able to
authenticate me as I connect (to the FQDN) and then showme the webserver
files.  I am splitting my head to make this work with quanta.

Should I use some smb:/ with a port number?
Should this freshmeat "Web DAVfs" project be my only hope?

My Linux Muscle is much stronger than M$'s side,
If someone has any recommendations I am listening... 8(

I have just joined the list, and I think it was about time.
many thanks.
