Sorry, I misremembered my results from yesterday. I just checked again. The permissions are in fact different: the Nautilus-created files are 644 (because my "New Text Document.txt" template in ~/Templates is 644), while files created with e.g. touch are 664.
Since both allow me, the owning user, to write the file, vim still shouldn't have problems, but it does seem like that is the underlying cause, rather than Nautilus having been used to create the file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813679 Title: vim-gtk can no longer save to GVFS SFTP mounts in 18.04 Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: New Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in vim package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Ubuntu 16.04, with gvim 7.4.1689, I can open files over GVFS SSH mounts (by going to `ssh://wherever` in the address bar in the file browser and double-clicking on the file), edit them, and save them. In Ubuntu 18.04, when I install `vim-gtk` and try to do the same thing, I can open the files just fine, but when I try to save them I get a message that Vim "Can't open file for writing". If I check out the Vim source tree and build and install vim v7.4.1689, which is what Xenial is shipping now, and use *that* gvim on Ubuntu 18.04, I can save over SSH mounts. I can also save fine from gedit. Something is wrong with the gvim shipping with 18.04.
