Description Evgeny 2025-03-18 15:37:08 UTC 
SUMMARY
Can't create symlink using dolphin, but can create it using internal kio mountpoint

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to sftp server (I just typed sftp://username@hostname/ to the address bar)
2. Go to RMB Menu->Create New->Link to File or Directory
3. Fill in symlink name and file name, press OK

OBSERVED RESULT
Symlink is created just fine

EXPECTED RESULT
I get "Could not create symlink sftp://username@hostname/path. Please check permissions."

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I open any file in non-kde app, kio creates a mountpoint in `/run/user/USERID/kio-RANDOMLETTERS/sftp/HOSTNAME/` and I can create a symlink using `ln -s` just fine, so I think that's not KIO issue.
