Bug Description

Binary package hint: gvfs

Situation:
Connected to a remote machine via SFTP as 'root'.

Problem:
I can't (over)write files, owned by other users than root (and the permission of that files are not world writeable). But i should be able to it.
(f.e. with kio-plugins it was never a problem)

System:
Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), 32-bit

upstream fixed the bug now

"2009-03-05 Alexander Larsson <email address hidden>

        Bug 449397 – misinterpreted uid over ssh

        * libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-private.h:
        * libnautilus-private/nautilus-file.c:
        Use the gvfs reported owner/group names instead of the local
        uid/gui mapping. This allows remote shares to report the correct
        names.

This "fixes" the issue, in that we're not using the wrong table to look up the
name. Instead we let the gvfs backend supply the name.

However, currently the sftp backend doesn't report a name which means we'll
report the owner by uid/gid instead of username/groupname. I don't know if its
possible to do a name lookup of for remote uids via sftp."
