Version: 4.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux Trying to copy even a small file between two servers connected via kio/sftp hangs. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: have server1 and server2 accepting sftp connections on port 22 have a client with kde4.6 open dolphin on the client, hit f3 in the left panel connect to sftp://server1 in the right panel connect to sftp://server2 create a file on server 1 copy that file in dolphin paste it into server 2 Actual Results: Nothification icon begins to "turn" progress stays to 0% forever (or for a very long time, i didn't waited more than 5 minutes...) Expected Results: to copy the file from server 1 to server 2 if i copy that file to local disk and then transfer it to server 2, it works.
Same thing here with Krusader. 100% reproducable. Bug#260999 seems to refer to same issue. As OP described, copying sftp-->local or local-->sftp works fine.
added observation: Also 100% reproducable when left and right side of the copy are on the *same* sftp:// server

David, this looks for me like a bug in kio and not in the kio_sftp slave. I only see a put() on destination but no get() call on the source. Looks like it's waiting for data forever...
I've cherry-picked the patch to KDE 4.6. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 251788 ***
