Title:
root directory inconsistencies in sftp mounts in file manager
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a Debian server on 192.168.1.2, and would like to mount its
file system root using the File Manager. So I select "Connect to
Server" and enter
sftp://[email protected] (plus any number of trailing slashes!)
The resulting network mount that appears in the Places column calls
itself "root on 192.168.1.2" (as does the navigation button at the
top) and the tool-tip says "sftp://192.168.1.2/root";. As might be
expected, I cannot navigate below /root (the root user's home
directory) to the root of the file system. (I would like to, but I
haven't found a way of specifying the Server Address to achieve this.)
But now the inconsistency. If I bring up a file open dialogue in
another application and click on the identically-named network mount
in the Places column, this time it *does* open the file system root,
and the navigation button is labelled "/ on 192.168.1.2".
I would expect the File Manager and open file dialogues to display the
same point in the remote hierarchy when the mount point is selected -
preferably what the open file dialogue does as it is impossible to get
to the remote server's file system root in the File Manager.
