--- Comment #8 from Edmund Laugasson <[email protected]> ---
Yes - now saving is possible. Using LibreOffice 4.2.4.2 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
(both 64-bit) I could also save over SFTP (SSH connection) the file using
Nautilus 3.4.2.

But I cannot now open that directly from LibreOffice (File->Open) - LibreOffice
will just crash - window closes and opening LibreOffice again - it will offer
to restore file(s), that were open. I tried to open from history or browse
directly any file over SSH - it is impossible to open.

So what kind of benefit can I have of saving file if I cannot open no one
later?

At the same time over plain FTP - it works. But over SSH - it does not.

I also tested in this way, that if I open in Nautilus filemanager over SSH the
folder and try to open any office document from there - then it is possible.

I checked the path, what is used for documents opened in different ways.

When saving from LibreOffice directly over SSH, then path will be
"sftp://user@host/home/user/file.odt"; - such file is impossible open from
LibreOffice - it will crash right away.

When opening file from SSH mounted folder, then path will be
"/home/user/.gvfs/user at SFTP host hostname/home/user/file.odt" - with such
path the file can be opened without any problem.

So - in this way a workaround exist - I have to open SSH-mounted folder at
first and then document from there using filemanager (currently Nautilus - did
not tested others). It means, that I need to change also file associations to
ensure it opens with LibreOffice. Because I cannot open file directly from
LibreOffice as usually expected. Sometimes there might be a files, which might
not be directly associated with LibreOffice. As we know - regular users are not
familiar with changing file associations. So - in this case we have a problem.

Usually is so, that if SSH share is added as bookmark - when I am saving the
file, I choose File-Save or CTRL+S and save over SSH to server the file using
bookmark for easier and instant access. Then such file remain also into history
of recently used files. When I try to open that recently used file -
LibreOffice will crash. This will quite disturb users if they try to open
recently used files and users have to keep in mind, that you cannot open file
from LibreOffice but only from filemanager.

I just describe the situation where e.g. in school there is SSH server (no
matter - in local network or outside internet) - there is bookmarked SSH share,
where teachers and also students would like to save their files - also with
LibreOffice.

So I really hope, that here is possible to do something with that bug.
