The point of a firewall is that you CAN'T access a machine over a network
unless the owner wants you to. If you have physical access to the computer
you are trying to connect to, log in locally and open the ssh port. Otherwise,
email or call the owner and have him/her open the port. I assume you wanted
to open the port over the network, but that just can't happen unless you are
able to telnet in or somehow get a command shell.
As for your second question, I don't have KDE installed, nor do I run a
server.
Good luck, and happy hacking
