Description Bruce Ashfield 2005-02-13 15:37:08 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When browsing via ftp:// and properly logged in as a user (i.e. not anonymous) I
can create directories, rename directories whatever I like via the right click
context menu. But if I try to drag files, use the context menu to create a file
I get "Error xyz. You do not have permissions to write to the destination".

I've quadruple checked the permissions and even changed them to 777, no luck.
The directories I create are on the remote filesystem, so obviously the
permissions are fine.

I'm also not seeing anything show up in /var/log/messages or my xfer logs for
the failures. So I'd guess that the operation is being blocked on the local
system and not the remote.

Steps to reproduce:
1. ftp://<user>@<site>/home/<user>
2. drag a file to the window
3. no permissions dialog ...


Actual results:
can't copy the file

Expected results:
can't copy the file

Does this happen every time?
yes, only with the new versions. This used to work fine.

Same here, I think it started after the upgrade to 2.9.91 (of both libgnomevfs
and Nautilus, using Ubuntu Hoary).
Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2005-02-14 14:37:33 UTC
I'm also running Ubuntu Hoary kept up to date daily, so I'd say we have exactly
the same thing. Popped up *very* recently.
