Public bug reported:
While logged to a ssh server using Nautilus and you double-click to open
a directory that the current user doesn't have execute permissions,
nautilus opens the directory and shows an empty directory instead of
showing an error message. There's no way to tell if the directory is
actually empty or if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Log in to the remote server using ssh in a terminal
$ ssh username@server
1) Create a directory
$ mkdir test
2) Create a file inside that directory
$ cd test
$ touch file
3) Revoke the execute permission on that directory
$ cd ..
$ chmod -x test
4) Open the ssh server using Nautilus
File -> Connect to Server...
5) Open that directory using Nautilus
What I expected:
Nautilus should show some kind of visual clue that the user doesn't have the
necessary permissions to open that directory.
What happened instead:
Nautilus didn't gave a warning or error message and showed me an empty
directory which is misleading.
