I am running Ubuntu 11.10 desktop 64 bit, the server is 11.10 64 bit, all updates installed, and this problem still exists. Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a file on the server (eg: /tmp/test.txt). 2. chown usr1:grp1 /tmp/test.txt 3. Open Nautilus on desktop. 4. Press CTRL+L (address bar appears). 5. Enter sftp://server.ip.address/tmp/ 6. Double click test.txt to open it with gEdit. 7. Enter some text. 8. Save the file. The result is the group is not preserved, and will change to user1:[user1's group]. I performed the same test on Windows using WinSCP 4.x, and the result is the group permissions are preserved (<-- expected behaviour). Please fix this as many of us consider this to be a very useful feature (dare I say a 'killer feature' in Linux). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199167 Title: Owner changed after saving file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/geany/+bug/199167/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
