I have the same problem. I have following setup: Workstation: ubuntu 6.10 with OOo, my user number is 1000.
Server: Linux with opensshd. In this machine my user number is 500. I user public key based authentication. I can make the file editable from OOo by 1) chowning the file in the server to a (non existing) user number 1000 and make it group readable, 2) make the file world writeable or 3) use same user numbers in client and in server. These solutions work as a work around in very limited situations, of course. The initial report states that this is not a gnome-vfs bug. However the same problem exists in Nautilus privilege property sheet, so this might well ultimatly be a gnome-vfs problem. I've attached a screen shot from the property sheets. The file on the right has owner 500 and the file on the left has owner 1000. I've even chmoded the file on the left to 600, so I don't in reality even have a read permission to the file and the Nautilus states that it is owned by me. :) -- Openoffice won't open files using sftp:// in read/write mode https://launchpad.net/bugs/41985 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
