** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #674482 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674482 ** Also affects: nautilus via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674482 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981127 Title: Nautilus doesn't show an error message when trying to open a directory without execute permission while logged in to a ssh server Status in Nautilus: Unknown Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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.
