Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29485
Affects: gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
There are problems with ftp and symbolic links that contain spaces. To
Illustrate I made the following directory:
[ kjetil ~ ]$ gnomevfs-ls file:///ftp/test/ | sort
1_without_Spaces (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096
mode 0755
2_without_Spaces_Link1 [link: /ftp/test/1_without_Spaces ] (Directory,
x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0755
3 without Spaces Link2 [link: /ftp/test/1_without_Spaces ] (Directory,
x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0755
4 with Spaces (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode
0755
5_with_Spaces_Link1 [link: /ftp/test/4 with Spaces/ ] (Directory,
x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0755
6 with Spaces Link2 [link: /ftp/test/4 with Spaces/ ] (Directory,
x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0755
. (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0755
.. (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0775
When accessing the dir via ftp I get the following:
[ kjetil ~ ]$ gnomevfs-ls ftp://kjetil:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/test | sort
1_without_Spaces (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096
mode 0755
2_without_Spaces_Link1 [link: /test/1_without_Spaces ] (Directory,
x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0755
3 [link: /test/1_without_Spaces ] (Directory, x-directory/normal)
size 4096 mode 0755
4 with Spaces (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode
0755
5_with_Spaces_Link1 [link: 4 ] (Symbolic Link, x-special/symlink)
size 14 mode 0777
6 [link: 4 ] (Symbolic Link, x-special/symlink) size 14 mode
0777
. (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0755
.. (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096 mode 0775
This makes the links numbered 3 and 6 (the ones with spaces in them) not
work.
As you can the links can point to a file containing spaces, but cannot
have spaces itself. The spaces need not be in the actual filename of the
link, they can be anywhere in its path.
