KIO (KDE Input/Output) is a systemlibrary incorporated intoKDE Frameworks andKDE Software Compilation 4. It provides access to files, web sites and other resources through a single consistentAPI. Applications, such asKonqueror andDolphin, which are written using this framework, can operate on files stored on remote servers in exactly the same way as they operate on those stored locally, effectively making KDEnetwork-transparent. This allows for an application like Konqueror to be both a file manager as well as a web browser.
KIO Workers (calledKIO Slaves prior toKDE Frameworks 6[3]) are libraries that provide support for individualprotocols (e.g.WebDAV,FTP,SMB,SSH,FISH,SFTP,SVN,TAR).
The KDE manual app KHelpCenter has aKIOWorkers section that lists the available protocols with a short description of each.
