Product: [Applications] kmail Reporter: Tamás Németh <nt1277>

Severity: normal

Description Tamás Németh 2009-01-14 20:09:56 UTC
Version:           4.1.3-3.11 (using KDE 4.1.3)
Compiler:          gcc-4.3 compiled for openSUSE 11.1 by the opensuse team
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It cannot save to network directories, like smb://, ftp://, sftp:// and the
like, only to local directories, while - for example - KDE4's kwrite can save
to network places, and it seems to use the same KDE4 dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Send yourself a mail with an attachment
2 [details].Read it in kmail (KDE4 version)
3.Try to save the attachment, giving a remote URL (e.g.
sftp://LOGIN@HOST/DIRECTORY) as the path to save the file to.
Actual Results:  
It will report something like writing to the file was unsuccesful.

Expected Results:  
It should be able to save to remote directories, like kwrite, for example.

There are other strange symptoms, relating to saving to network places in
kmail. For example I instructed it to save the path, the loginname and the
password to kwallet, but it asked for the password again, despite showing the
contents of the target directory before asking for the password!?!?!?


I've also reported it here:

It works for me in kde 4.1.96, using fish://user@host/path ,pressing intro, entering the password, and then the filename.
