This page is a starting point for debugging kio_fish. Please also read how to debug IO slaves generically.

Overview

When you point your konqueror to fish://user@target, the fish kioslave opens a process that calls the executable ssh. If a password is needed, this question is passed on to you (search for "password" in fish.cpp). Then a perl script is copied over to the target host and executed there. On the target host, the file is named .fishsrv.pl. This perl script is compiled into your binary kio_fish.o. If you want to change it sustainably, you will have to change fish.pl in your source dir and then compile and install the directory kioslave/fish.

The perl script, running on the target computer, is (t)here to execute fish commands like LIST, STAT, WRITE and APPEND. They are sent from fish.cpp running on the source computer.
