Bug 254379

Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

Hi,
I think there is a bug in kio_sftp or somewhere around since kde 4.5.x was
introduced.
I first noticed it in dolphin, trying to copy files  from one remote sftp
server to another. The job was initiated (I got a notification in notification
tay) but it never actually started.
Then I tried the same thing through konqueror - I got the same behaviour.

It is not a networking issue, copying does not work between URI on localhost as
well.

Then I tried:
tlisiecki@lapek ~ $ kioclient copy
sftp://tlisiecki@localhost/home/tlisiecki/sqlnet.log
sftp://tlisiecki@localhost/tmp

and the result was exactly the same - the job was initiated (I could see it in
notification tray) but it never actually starts, it does not even ask for
password.

I can reproduce that behaviour on both kde 4.5.1 on my desktop and 4.5.2 on
notebook. I am sure it was ok in 4.4.5 as I use sftp<->sftp copying quite a lot
at work.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
tlisiecki@lapek ~ $ kioclient copy
sftp://tlisiecki@localhost/home/tlisiecki/sqlnet.log
sftp://tlisiecki@localhost/tmp

Actual Results:  
copying job is initiated (I could see it in
notification tray) but it never actually starts, it does not even ask for
password.

Expected Results:  
files are copied from one sftp location to other sftp location

some strange facts:
- copying files from sftp to fish/smb (and vice versa) works just fine. If you
do it with kioclient you will be asked for password and files are going to be
copied.
- using dolphin - if you try to copy whole directory from one location to
another, the directories will be copied, but files won`t.
