Description Xavier Guerrin 2013-05-26 17:01:34 UTC

This bug report is part of my experiments with KDE Development Platform 4.10.2 (latest stable from the GUI installer) using a 4 vCPUs VirtualBox VM running MS Windows XP Pro version 2002 SP3.
These experiments mainly aim at trying Kate, Konqueror and the SFTP KIO/slave under Windows so that working with Unix/Linux machines from a Windows workstation stops being so painful.

Launching Konqueror, entering sftp://user@hostname immediately changes it to sftp://user@hostname/path/to/home/directory and lists the files as expected; however:
* symlinks owner and groups are shown as numeric values instead of user and group names
* some names are suffixed with garbage characters: http://edony.tuxfamily.org/~xav/img/kde-windows-konqueror-sftp-listing.png
* the tested directory was containing a "Téléchargements" directory, i.e. a directory which filename contains non-ASCII, ISO-8859-15 characters; it was displayed correctly but upon trying to enter it, Konqueror stated that "The file or folder sftp://user@hostname/path/to/home/directory/Téléchargements" does not exist.
* Also, it seems that handling a file opening operation through the standard Windows application selection dialog keeps only the path part of the URL: right click on "filename" > Open with > choose kate => "The file /path/to/home/directory/filename could not be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it. Check if you have access to this file." -- not sure it can even be fixed...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Konqueror
2. Type sftp://your_username@some_remote_unix_machine in the address bar
3. Check the displayed listing

Comment 1 Mihai Sorin Dobrescu 2013-05-26 17:20:32 UTC

The issue concerning the characters happened to me since forever under linux too, while EasyTag, Nautilus and other GTK applications handled the files and folders - showing a notice related to "weird characters" in their names.

Comment 2 Xavier Guerrin 2013-06-09 20:12:02 UTC

Hello again,

Following update to KDE 4.10-3, the garbage characters disappeared.
However, I noticed the "Up" button remains disabled when browsing Windows local filesystems.
