I still have the problem. When I experience this problem, I'm creating a new document in gedit, then saving to the sftp server. I guess I'm using the standard ssh server, though I don't really know how to check.
I edit existing remote files by opening them from nautilus. gnomevfs-copy seems to be the source of the problem. When I copy a local file into a not-yet-created file on the remote server, I get a protocol error. computer:~/Desktop$ gnomevfs-copy foo sftp://server/home/person/foo Failed to copy foo to sftp://server/home/person/foo Reason: Protocol error -- [Dapper] Gedit fails to save to remote location if creating new file while using sftp https://launchpad.net/bugs/39024 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
