Public bug reported:
Problem overview:
When using gvfs-sftp connection to modify some remote files, editing remotely
(with gedit, sublime, etc) then saving these files changes their user and group
ownership on server.
Problem configuration:
- one desktop with Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and Unity desktop
(3.2.0-39-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 28 00:28:53 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux)
- one server width Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS server
(3.5.0-25-generic #39~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 26 00:11:13 UTC 2013 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux)
- one server directory with some files
- directory permission : drwxrwx--- serverUser clientUser
- files in this directory : -rw-rw---- serverUser clientUser
(aka <perms> <user-owner> <group-owner>)
Problem reproduction:
1- Use Nautilus (3.4.2) to "Connect to server ..." from your desktop pc to your
server pc using your ssh 'clientUser' credential (as mentioned above).
2- Browse to the above mentioned directory through Nautilus (from desktop
client in the remote served directory)
3- Open a remote file for edition with gedit (or any other desktop editor, from
nautilus or command line like gedit ~/.gvfs/...)
4- Edit and save file
5- Check file permission on server directory
6- the file ownership has changed to something like -rw-rw---- clientUser
clientUser
Using vi (or vim) give an error at save time, but, the content is save
succefully, permission are set to something -rw------- clientUser
clientUser
