Package: nautilus
Version: 3.22.3-1
Severity: critical
Hello,
I just discovered a severe bug in the sftp protocol support of nautilus:
I tried to mount a remote folder via SFTP/SSH by using a syntax similar
to the following:
'sftp://<host>/path/to/directory'. Instead of displaying
'/path/to/directory' on the remote host, nautilus kept giving warnings
that it doesn't know what to do with file 'directory' and moved to the
home directory on the remote host.
I tried it with different syntax (colon between host and path, 'user@'
in front of host, using 'ssh://' instead of 'sftp://') and I tried both
using the 'Andere Orte' (something like 'different locations' in
english) and the address bar (<Ctrl>+<l>). One time nautilus even
crashed (the Files window got closed).
After some time, I went back to the remote console SSH session and was
shocked to realize that the whole directory '/path/to/directory' was
removed on the remote host. Luckily I had backups.
I don't have time to do further debugging right now as I'm quite busy,
but I will do further debugging and try to find a clear reproducer in
the following days.
Kind regards
jonas

Hi Adrian, hi Jason,
thanks for reminding me. I just spent some time trying to reproduce the
issue but I failed. Apparently something changed and now all my tests
mounting sftp/ssh folders with Nautilus succeeded.
I honestly don't understand it as I didn't change anything in the
meantime (using the same remote host, same client, no configuration
change). And I'm still pretty confident that I ran into some bug back
when I wrote the report. But as I'm unable to reproduce the issue
myself, I'm closing the bugreport.
Kind regards
