Description Lubomir Kundrak 2007-04-26 22:11:23 UTC
Description of problem:

Fish transfers freeze when user attempts to copy a file that is not
readable for him.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mc-4.6.1a-35.fc6

How reproducible:

Not tried to.

Steps to Reproduce:
(I describe my particular case. Might not apply for other modes/ownership)
1. Create a file owned by root with mode 600
2. Try to transfer it as an ordinary unprivileged user
  
Actual results:

mc freezes after writing a small portion of bogus data to the target file.

Expected results:

And user would have been warned.

Additional info:

Not tried to reproduce. Tell me if you are unable to.

Ping on this. Additionaly, sshfs support in mc seems to need some more testing,
it breaks in nearly any nonstandard situation, weird file names (escaping
issues), etc., if i remember correctly.

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
