Description schaise 2013-02-27 10:43:30 UTC 
I copied a binary file via Dolphin using sftp://path/to/file to my local filesystem. Compared to copying the file via scp using a shell, the file is slightly larger afterward. 

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 7434240 Feb 27 11:32 filename - USING DOLPHIN: Wrong size
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 7372800 Feb 27 11:31 filename - USING SCP: right size, same as source

This behaviour is absolutely reproducable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy file using sftp:// to local filesystem
2. Compare size of copy to size of source file
3.

Thanks for the bug report! Might be a problem with the sftp kioslave, so I'll reassign (even though I'm not sure how much a bug report for such an old version is worth now).
Comment 2 schaise 2013-02-27 12:11:56 UTC 
Further investigation shows that the file is being extended by plain zeros when copied using dolphin

Well it might be old but this is the version that is supposed to be used in the upcoming debian stable ;)
