Yes, same here. I haven't tried Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04 yet but I'd expect the
behaviour to be the same.

Same here. Let's face it: The officially supported distros (SLES 9? SLES 10? Oh
please ...) suck badly for the most part (they are mostly outdated and getting
extra-packages to work isn't nearly as easy as with "apt" on Ubuntu or
Debian!). However, lacking a solution for Ubuntu at the moment I might give
CentOS 5.3 a try which should be 100% compatible with the officially supported
RHEL 5. So I hope the NFS mount options used by SGD still work there. Of all
the available alternatives CentOS 5.3 sucks the least I guess ("yum" is no
"apt" but I think I could live with it if the rest works under SGD ...).
Besides, for really large file transfers we use this SGD plugin: "ToolBox
Backplane Service" aka "TBS".
http://www.tbsol.de
"TBS" has a "File Transfer" module which more or less works and looks
like a web-based SFTP client. So you'd click on the "File Transfer" icon
and the right pane of your webtop (which mostly isn't used for anything
but for displaying the "Welcome to your webtop" message ...) turns into
a SFTP client ... If you can't get CDM to work (thanks to the missing
NFS mount options ...) then TBS is a must-have IMHO.
