Nautilus as FTP has no CHMOD ability

The permission reading/changing issue already exists upstream:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309700
The folder creation one has just been filed as:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311706

upstream have a suggested patch - hope they get it in soon.

This is an horrible bug, any progress on it?

Paco, could you argue on why the bug is "horrible" for you? Do you think that changing mode of a ftp file is a common user request?

Permissions are a pretty basic part of file handling, I'd think.

Case in point: One server I maintain a website on has very restrictive permissions by default, which are applied to every file that gets uploaded - only viewable by owner. (700, I guess?) To get the actual website working, I have to change perms on every file I upload there. This means I can't use Nautilus as it stands now for managing this website.

I haven't yet tried Nautilus in Dapper Beta - does anyone know if this has been fixed in Gnome 2.14?

It has not been fixed yet but I'll play with patch from http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2006-March/msg00107.html probably before dapper and backport it if upstream commits it to CVS or is fine with it

I don't know if a common user want to change a remote file permissions, but I work with Ubuntu every day and I need this feature. Yes, I can use gftp but I think this is a very important missing feature: if I use Nautilus for my local files why can't use Nautilus for my remote files?

Konqueror can manage remote file permissions for years :(

I feel this bug is being under-estimated.

Yes, you could argue that the 'average user' (if such a thing exists) such doesn't care about permissions... Then again, the 'average user' (sorry, but I hate that phrase) wouldn't be using FTP in the first place.

I feel that anyone who is using FTP will certinally care about what permissions the files will have.

I do strongly feel this is a very important bug which must be fixed before Dapper comes out. Permissions are an essential part of FTP, much like copy and paste on the desktop; not everyone will use it, but it looks silly if it can't be used.

the bug is not under-estimated but you probably under-estimate the numbers of bugs sent for the number of people triaging and fixing theme. The desktop list get hundreds of bug mails a day and there is only some people replying to all of them. We have to prioritize work. That's the same for upstream, there 3-4 people only working on that component which according to the number of things to do is not a lot. If you want to make sure that's fixed better helping fixing or or sending a patch than trying to blame overworked people to not fix your small bug right now

Would be nice to fix for dapper. Was supposed to be fixed with http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2006-March/msg00107.html upstream which has been applied for dapper but the change works fine on sftp but not on ftp (yet)

Dapper has been released, but i don't think this bug is solved yet. The problem still occurs. Should it be solved or will it be solved in the Edgy release?

the bug should be kept open as long as the bug is not fixed

We have now Gutsy (4 Gnome and Ubuntu releases, two and a half year) and Nautilus can't be used as a working FTP client.

The new gnome virtual fs has not solved the bug.

Gnome bug #45889 has nothing to do with this.

It appears like this is still an issue.

yes it is

New upstream bug for gvfs. Old one set to WONTFIX.

This bug is here from hoary... I am on jaunty and it isn't fixed!

How can we help to fix this bug?

AleRitty, providing a patch is the best way to help the bug to gets fixed.

Why invalid?Is a bug confirmed and present since Hoary!

the issue should be fixed in the current version

Nice to know that has been fixed :)
