I am currently experiencing this exact phenomenon on two different machines running 9.04, and 9.10.
I have experienced it on 3 different, independent remote servers. It really seems like FUSE/GVFS is not handling FTP correctly at all. Geany, Scite, and even cp will fail with "Input/output error" and the remote file will then be 0 bytes in size. This happens every time I try to save changes to an existing remote file using FTP through gvfs. I can create a new file, but any subsequent writes will result in an empty file. This does not happen when using SSH through gvfs. This is a pretty severe bug for me as many clients only use FTP, and I like to use Geany. -- Input/output error when saving files on a GVFS mounted FTP directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
