Cannot create new file

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an FTP location in Dolphin
2. Try to create a new folder or file


OBSERVED RESULT

The "File already exists" popup incorrectly shows up, and the "Ok" button is disabled, you cannot create files / folders

EXPECTED RESULT

You should be able to create new files / folders

This is most likely fixed by changing the KIO::statDetails parameter in:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/master/src/filewidgets/knewfilemenu.cpp#L1212

From the doc, KIO::statDetails cannot reliably check a file existence using http / ftp protocols. Using "SourceSide" as currently, when the existence cannot be determined, it is assumed to exist, so we cannot create the new file.

Changing the parameter to DestinationSide, the file is assumed to not exist when it cannot be determined.
