Editing Konqueror (section)

==KIO==
{{details|KIO}}
In addition to browsing files and websites, Konqueror utilizes [[KIO]] plugins to extend its capabilities well beyond those of other browsers and file managers. It uses components of KIO, the KDE I/O plugin system, to access different protocols such as [[HTTP]] and [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] (support for these is built-in), [[WebDAV]], [[Server Message Block|SMB]] (Windows shares), [[SSH File Transfer Protocol|SFTP]] and [[Files transferred over shell protocol|FISH]] (a handy replacement to the latter when the SFTP subsystem is disabled on the remote host).

Similarly, Konqueror can use KIO plugins (called IOslaves) to access [[ZIP (file format)|ZIP file]]s and other archives, to process ed2k links (edonkey/emule), or even to browse [[CD|audio CDs]], ("audiocd:/") and [[ripping|rip]] them via [[drag-and-drop]]. Likewise, the "man:" and "info:" IOslaves can be used to fetch [[man page|man]] and info formatted documentation.
