FTP Transfer from whole directorys fails

[Christian Becker]

I just want transfer a directory with ~ 30 files in there from a FTP Server.

Just copy the folder and drop it in my home directory dont work.

The error message is "Datei nicht verfügbar". Its german and means "file not accessable".

When I copy the files by hand, it works.

Thanks for your bug report. This bug is already known upstream on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522933

[Laszlo Lukacs (lukacs-laci)]

I experienced the same problem.

[Valentin Neacsu (valentin.neacsu)]

Same problem here, Hardy x86 client using Nautilus and FileZilla 0.9.25 for Windows server.

[pheeror (pheeror)]

Same here :-( Any chance of distributing patched version of gvfs to hardy anytime soon?

I can confirm this.
This is especially annoying when the directory you want to copy has subdirectories and sub-subdirectories etc. Recursing into each directory is something the ftp client (gvfs) should do for the user. Also, the old gnome-vfs ftp client did already do this, so users might expect this to 'just work'.

Description of problem:
The ftp file transfer of whole directories containing more than one file fails.
The error is "Datei nicht verfügbar" which means something like "File not
available".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gvfs-0.2.3-11.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
Always

[Tomáš (tom-redhat-bugs-1)]

Reproducible here, raising severity as this is a major issue.
Thanks for the link to Gnome bugzilla.

What's the point of tracking novell and fedora? they all point to gnome's bugzilla :\

[magilus (magilus)]

Well it is quiet interesting which distros adopt the fix first, as the problem is of high importance to me.

[Tomáš (tom-redhat-bugs-1)]

Fix for Samba shares should be included in updated gvfs-0.2.4-1 package.
Fix for FTP is under development and will be available soon.

[Fedora (fedora-redhat-bugs)]

gvfs-0.2.4-3.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug has been fixed upstream now

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the new stable version has been uploaded as an hardy update candidate now

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Jakob Unterwurzacher (jakobunt)]

ZOMG. Doesn't gnome have some sort of QA?

Anyway,
-proposed fixed this for me.

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

@Jakob: Sure they do. It's called 'install the unstable version and test it' ;-)
@Martin: Updating with the proposed channel open fixed this bug for me.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Copied to hardy-updates.

my bug ( Bug 251517 ) has been closed as duplicate. i suppose it is supposed a duplicate of this bug (found nothing better) i just wanted to add that i have a up-to-date system (as of today, august, 1st) and things are still broken.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Michael, your bug seems to be private
If it's marked as a duplicate, it should say so somewhere at the beginning of the page of that bug

Post back the output of the following command (Applications > Accessories > Terminal):
apt-cache policy gvfs-backends gvfs

[Michael Nagel (nailor)]

the bug has been reopened as we believe it is not a duplicate currently. it has been marked private as it contains some not-for-general-public information. i'll post the output of this command there. if i can add you as a subscriber (so you can see the bug) i'll do that, too.

[Martin (martin-redhat-bugs)]

Well this has been pushed to stable, hasn't it? So I'd say it can be closed.

[Tomáš (tom-redhat-bugs-1)]

gvfs-0.2.5-1.fc9 has been pushed to stable, which includes this fix.

[Mike (mike-prorouting)]

I just found that I am running into this problem, searched google and came across this bug. I double checked that my ubuntu hardy is already up to date.
