Chris, In fact I don't think this is an issue with gvfs or pureftpd. pureftpd may affect other bugs, but it is not the case here. I have tested it on vsftpd locally. OpenOffice still fails with the same error. -Files can be written to folder via nautilus. -Files can be saved through the gedit save dialogue. -File cannot be saved from the OOo save dialogue. I found, with more tests, that OOo does create a lock file, cat /home/ftp/dropbox/.~lock.testsave.odt# ,ubuntu,default,28.03.2009 20:19,file:///home/ubuntu/.openoffice.org/3; Chris can we schedule some software testing for "saving/editing OOo docs on remote filesystems". It would be worth testing this use case with smb, ftp, sftp and nfs as well. Please keep in mind that I am currently running these tests on both intrepid and jaunty. Please ping me if you are interested. > If that case it is probably not a bug caused by gvfs. You're correct seb. I don't think this problem is with gvfs since it only seems to affect OOo for now. If anything, it is the way OOo treats the remote file system. -- Cannot save file to FTP server (from Save dialog) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
