KIO: Network-enabled File Management

Overview - File Selector

This library implements almost all the file management functions you will ever need. In fact, the KDE file manager, Konqueror also uses this to provide its network-enabled file management.

The easiest way to use this library from a KDE application is via the KIO.NetAccess class (for easy synchronous access) or via the KIO.Job class (for more complex asynchronous jobs).

This library also implements the KDE file selector widget (see the page on the file selector widget).
