Bug Description
If you attempt to use Nautilus to drag and drop a file from a remote host to a
local folder (I was using the desktop), it gives the following error:
Error "Generic error" while copying "sftp://[blah blah blah].
Would you like to continue?
This error message is uninformative -- it's actually a permissions problem. The
dialog would be more useful if it could explain the error: "Permission denied
reading sftp://[blah blah blah]" or whatever.

Also see bug 45382. We're seeing basically the same error message, but with no obvious reason for anything to go wrong (i.e., no permission problems).

gnome-vfs is being replaced with gvfs in ubuntu hardy (8.04).
Any chance you could test this to check to see if it still occurs in the latest hardy beta (http://

the new nautilus using gvfs displays a correct message about the issue, closing the bug
