Carla Schroder is a press person who's been pretty friendly towards us. Any way we could get this bug fixed and then send her an email? Maybe she'd write about it ...

(And please don't send her any emails of "it's already fixed if she'd just do this" or "it won't be fixed because ..." or ...)

From Facebook:

Carla Schroder Yet one more reason Gnome is annoying and broken: Gedit and Gnumeric will not save to network shares. Many old bug reports languish.

I'd be surprised that this is the case. Gedit and Gnumeric both use
gio/gvfs at least in their latest releases. I'd be very surprised if
that is broken because in that case almost no GNOME app would be able
to save to a network share

So maybe best to ask her which version she is running of GNOME and which distro

She says:

Carla Schroder also commented on her status:

"Hi Stormy, the problem apps are Gedit and Gnumeric. It's consistent no matter what distro they're installed on.

Here's the short story: Gedit will not save to a SSHFS share, it gives this error message:
'Could not save the file /home/carla/sshfs/easylist.
txt.

You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.'

Sometimes disabling 'Create a backup copy before saving' cures it, sometimes not.

Gnumeric will not save to an SSHFS share. The save fails with an 'Operation not permitted' message. I can use File-Save As once and save it under a new name. Then subsequent saves fail.

I didn't keep a record of the bug reports or forum discussions on this,  there are many. This bug report is similar to my issue, and typical of what I remember reading:
http://www.facebook.com/l/;https://bugs.launchpad.net/sshfs-mounter/+bug/34813

If you can fix this you have mighty powers. I didn't bother pursuing it any further; ordinarily I would look for a workaround or file a bug report, but that didn't seem like it would accomplish anything in this case."

Stormy,

I think your mighty powers have solved somehow it already. :-)

I just mounted a remote server with sshfs and both gedit and gnumeric
can load and save files.

I'm running the beta Karmic Koala so GNOME 2.28

I understand she's using sshfs instead of sftp with nautilus?

iirc, sshfs is just a hack to mount sftp somewhere in your tree.
nautilus' sftp:// works the same and is -i guess- much easier to setup.

I would advise her to try to use nautilus connect to server (File ->
connect to server -> SSH).
