Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
We are using OpenOffice with an sftp share (interfaced via gnome-vfs/nautilus) and multiple users are overwriting each other's changes because there is no file locking available.
Apparently this is an option for smb/nfs, and maybe it can create an appropriate .lock file on filesystems which don't natively support locking.

Thank you for reporting this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better... I can mark this as a wishlist if you like but sftp is basically a secure version of FTP... The FTP protocol doesn't support file locks by design... Maybe you would have better luck using a smb file share rather then sftp?
In any case I'll wishlist this...
Thanks,
Richard Seguin
