Description Rafael Linux User 2019-07-04 11:43:46 UTC 
SUMMARY
I connect thru FISH protocol to a server as root with Krusader. If I try to change file owner thru "Changing permissions and file ownership" using KRename (I don't know any other easier way, maybe that's the problem) when I click on the list of selectable users and groups, I only can see the local users and groups. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect as root to a remote server with Krusader
2. Select some files/folders and press "Shift + F2", click "Plugins" tab and selec "Permissions" in "Plugins" list.
3. Enable "Enable plugin" and "Change Owner".
4. Click on "User" list -> You will see only local users
5. Click on "Group" list -> You will see only local groups

OBSERVED RESULT
Can't change remote files user/group to remote server existent user/groups

EXPECTED RESULT
Let user at least to TYPE user/group that user needs to assign.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE 15
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.45.0
Qt Version: 5.9.4

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The more obvious way to change user/group should be as when user launch krusader as root, thru file "Properties" right click menu.

This is not related to Krusader.
You want to get and set users/groups for remote files via KIO's fish protocol. Support for this new feature must probably not only be build in fish (which is part of KIO extras) but also in KIO itself.

I don't know about KRename but i assume it is simply using KIO as well (like Krusader).

Thank you for the clarification, however, I have same doubt, how and who could confirm and solve or add this feature? Is a MUST when working remotely with servers.

Thank you
