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.
