Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When attempting to overwrite existing files on an sshfs mount point nautilus fails - stating that it is unable to rename temporary the file. I imagine this relates to the way in which nautilus overwrites files - writing the data to a temporary file, then renaming that file to the new file name (in order to make the copy more like an atomic operation). If this is the case, I believe that nautilus makes a local copy of the file, then falls over when trying to rename the file to the remote location. To recreate the bug... Mount a drive using sshfs: > sshfs <remote_system>:<remote_path> <local_path> Open the local mount point: > nautilus <local_path> Copy a file that replaces an existing file of the same name on the remote machine.
