Bug ID: 406691
Summary: Can't follow symbolic links in SFTP locations
Product: dolphin
Version: 17.12.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: places
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: as...@mythicflow.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In an SFTP location, defined either by adding an entry to Places or by adding a
new network, attempts to follow a symbolic link fail with the message, "Could
not read file sftp://..."; This happens with links that point to locations
within the user's home directory as well as locations outside it (IOW, this is
not caused by a chroot restriction).
This started occurring recently, most likely after an update from the
kubuntu-backports repo.
If the SFTP location is mounted (using 'mount'), symbolic links can be followed
as expected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an SFTP entry in Places, or add it as a new network in Networks.
2. Navigate to the location created in #1 and click on a symbolic link within
the location.
OBSERVED RESULT
Error dialog appears saying, "Could not read file sftp://...";
EXPECTED RESULT
Access the directory/file that the symbolic link points to.
