Hi,
QGIS knows how to add the standard parameters of GetCapabilities reques so the base URL is enough
http://localhost/geoserver/ows?service=wfs or
http://localhost/geoserver/wfs?
Actually, having &request=GetCapabilities in the URL may lead to trouble at least sometimes with QGIS. However, it is not clear if the issue reported here happened only once

have very simple question, but for me the answer is very meaningful.
I just installed geoserver, postgis and all the application, what was said
in “GeoServer Beginners quide”.
I have added shp-files from postgis and from “add shape” in GeoServer. What
I have to do, if I want to publish shp-file in wfs, that my collegue can
open it in (for example Qgis) “add wfs-layer”?
I mean, how can I make the address for the wfs-data, that it can be opened
in gis-desktop (arcgis/qgis…)?Or where it can be found?
Hi,
unless you explicitly disabled WFS, every layer you publish is available via WMS or WFS protocol.
In QGIS you need to insert the getcaapbilities entry point to connect to GeoServer.
This address is available in the main page of GeoServer web interface and is usually of this form:
http://localhost/geoserver/ows?service=wfs&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Stefano
