I'm using file-roller and it doesn't work well when my archive file is accessed via ssh (it throws an error when I try to open it). Any alternatives?
GUI archive manager that works well over ssh
software rec;archive
You can access remote files using fish:// or sftp:// with every KDE application. For example you can connect to the remote host using file managers like Dolphin or Konqueror and after that every file that you click will be open (in KDE app) like it was file on your local drive. Archives will be opened in Ark (KDE archive manager). And of course you can open archives directly in Ark (File -> Open -> sftp://remotehost/path/to/file)...Another alternative that I know, that it works is Emacs... ;) But before you try it you should look at Emacs learning curve... ;)
