Description Roland Wolters 2014-08-03 19:23:46 UTC
A bug was filed downstream which indicates that the "move" function of Ktorrekt does not work properly on SMB directories:

##################################################
Description of problem:

Ktorrent offers the option of moving a downloaded set of torrent files to a new location once the download is completed.  Although this function works fine on a local drive, it isn't working with SMB / CIFS.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.3.1-11.fc20 

How reproducible:

every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure ktorrent to move completed torrent downloads to a specified folder.
2. Observe successful move when folder is on local device
3. Observe failure to move when folder is on an SMB/ CIFS share.

Actual results:

Failure to move files

Expected results:

Success in moving files

Additional info:

The failure seems to occur under both of these conditions:

1. when the address of the drive is added to the ktorrent configuration using a network address.  example: smb://sharename/path/

2. When the SMB/CIFS share is mounted locally, so that the drive/folder should appear to be local.

This doesn't appear to be a permissions problem -- the same user running ktorrent on the local machine is the same user owning the destination path on the CIFS share.  Additionally, the CIFS share is exported with promiscuous permissions (777) which allows any connected user has read/write/execute privileges.  Dragging and dropping the files using Dolphin works just fine, it's just that Ktorrent isn't providing similar functionality.

##################################################

The further analysis of the reporter does suggest that this is not a problem with the CIFS share, but a problem with Ktorrekt move function itself, it seems to not access CIFS at all.
