I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS which seems to have sshfs 2.8.
It seems to be the same or similar to this upstream bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383069 And it should be fixed in sshfs 3.2.1 (which obviously is not in Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS). This bug happens when I try to copy/move many files and destroyed a lot of pictures in my case ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60434201 /how-to-repair-jpegs-like-okular-sees-them ). ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #383069 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383069 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1211930 Title: Copying files creates useless data To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sshfs-fuse/+bug/1211930/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
