Description Christian Neumair 2004-06-07 12:53:05 UTC 
Epiphany should support opening and saving remote files through GtkFileChooser.
According to [1], it involves setting the "local-only" property to 0 and poking
around with the get_uri method.

regs,
 Chris

Comment 4 Jean-François Rameau 2005-06-16 12:19:03 UTC 
Works fine here but using ftp volumes, it appears that GtkFileChooser displays
an uri like ftp://<login>:<password>@<domain>: this is a security issue I think.

I filled a bug to GtkFileChooser component: #306039
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2005-07-03 12:59:01 UTC 
jfr has a patch for opening files on remote (where mozilla's gnome-vfs module
supports the proto). For saving, could we save to a temp file, and use
gnome_vfs_xfer_uri[_list] to transfer the file(s) to the remote?

Hint:
a nice piece of code to start is there
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-utils/gnome-screenshot/screenshot-xfer.c?rev=1.4&view=markup
So one can image a ephy-xfer object.

Any news on this?

Thanks
Comment 10 Sam Morris 2008-11-23 11:38:36 UTC 
Does this still apply now that epiphany uses gio?
Comment 11 Reinout van Schouwen 2008-11-26 10:59:35 UTC 
Yes (the Gecko backend still uses gnome-vfs).

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
