Description Nils B. 2021-08-24 10:26:02 UTC

SUMMARY
When you double-click an FTP file, it does as if it was a folder, so when opening ftp://..../a.txt , you get into a non-existing folder ftp://..../a.txt in which you can see a.txt again, but now after a double-click it says that a.txt dosn't exist "550 Unknown error 187". When copying/pasting a.txt in a second dolphin Window (not tab) that is not ftp, let's say downloads, it creates a folder named a.txt and gives you an error message "unable to write in the file".


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an FTP connection
2. Create a file
3. Double-click on it

OBSERVED RESULT
see attachment

EXPECTED RESULT
opening a.txt with the default .txt editor (kate in my case)

Kate: Open remote file error on Plasma

Comment 3 augusto 2022-03-15 04:42:43 UTC

This is also happening on my Ubuntu based KDE Plasma window desktop. 
Not happening when switching from Plasma to default Ubuntu window system

Comment 4 augusto 2022-03-15 04:44:35 UTC

updating "Platform" from  Manjaro to "unspecified" (same error on more platforms)

Also, copying a file to computer, from X-Plore's FTP server on Android mobile phone just makes empty directory with the same name, no data is copied. Double Commander works with that FTP server.

Comment 6 Justin Zobel 2025-02-08 03:11:58 UTC

Nils I am unable to reproduce this issue in Dolphin 24.12.1. Can you please re-check and confirm if this issue is still occurring? If it is, please change the status back to REPORTED.

Augusto/Marko you seem to be having different issues to the original report. If you are still experiencing them, please open a new report for the issue.
