From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Actually most of apps cannot directly open files form vfs folders. One have to copy such file form e.g. sftp: share to local disk edit it and then upload back (using Nautilus). In KDE the files accesses via for example fish: protocol are immediately copied to /tmp edited and automagically copied back to original location. It is transparent to the apps if file lie on local filesystem or on remote. I thing gnome-vfs should give same functionality to be user friendly it is gnoem-vfs should be transparent for ALL application. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-vfs2-smb-2.8.1-5 gnome-vfs2-2.8.1-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open PDF from remote location under Nautilus (sftp://) 2. 3. Actual Results: The PDF reader (xpdf, acroread, gv) cannot open file from remote share, one should first copy PDF file to local fs. Expected Results: xpdf opens file without any warning Additional info:
