I have a symlink "WebStuff" on my server pointing to /var/www. When I access the folder through sftp://foo/bar/WebStuff, I can browse it just fine. Dolphin's places panel tries to CD into /run/user/foo/kio-fuse/sftp/foo/bar/WebStuff and fails because the symlink points to /var/www which locally doesn't exist. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to sftp://whatever in Dolphin 2. Have a symlink there pointing to a folder somewhere else 3. Try accessing this symlink through KIOFuse OBSERVED RESULT The symlink is exposed verbatim and points to a local folder EXPECTED RESULT The symlink is rewritten to work similar to how it does when browsing it in Dolphin SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION KIO-Fuse git master
Git commit 1fedbb198f9cf785108babc673d377dc169a745e by Fabian Vogt. Committed on 01/08/2020 at 12:53. Pushed by fvogt into branch 'master'. Reimplement mounting in a different way Instead of always creating an origin node at the authority level and creating all path elements as directories, only create everything up to the origin when mounting. Everything beyond that is created on-demand when an application triggers readdir or lookup. Some ioslaves like tar don't support access at the root level (tar:/// doesn't exist), so for mounting those it has to traverse the URL upward until a valid origin is found. As mountUrl no longer creates all nodes to resolve the full URL, it returns a string in the callback now instead of a node. As there is no longer a concept of a protocol node, it was replaced with a plain DirNode instead. remoteUrl had to be fixed to deal with m_overrideUrl having a non-empty (or '/') path, it didn't add '/' before. The algorithm of localPathToRemoteUrl was changed to not need all path elements as nodes. It stops traversing once an origin was found. This means it behaves incorrectly/unexpectedly with nested origins.

MR has not been merged yet and Kai has not confirmed if it works, I'll let the MR when pushed to master close this bug.
Git commit 2fb5da8143b1306351b2b4b6e001e8e9263ee110 by Alexander Saoutkin, on behalf of Fabian Vogt. Committed on 23/12/2020 at 13:10. Pushed by asaoutkin into branch 'master'. Rewrite absolute symlinks to stay inside their origin Absolute symlinks have a different meaning when accessed though the regular filesystem, they don't anchor to the mounted URL anymore: sftp://server/tmp/symlink -> /home/user/ /mnt/sftp/server/tmp/symlink -> /home/user/ Rewrite absolute symlinks when reading or writing them to keep the target consistent: /mnt/sftp/server/tmp/symlink -> /mnt/sftp/server/home/user/ It is necessary that KIOFuseVFS is aware of the mountpoint now, to be able to deal with absolute paths. This is not ideal as it doesn't account for bind mounts or symlinks. Use readlink in fileopstest to get the raw link target instead of an absolute path.
