[Bug 39024] Re: [Dapper] Gedit fails to save to remote location if creating new file while using sftp

[ian marcinkowski]

I still have the problem.  When I experience this problem, I'm creating
a new document in gedit, then saving to the sftp server.  I guess I'm
using the standard ssh server, though I don't really know how to check.

I edit existing remote files by opening them from nautilus.

gnomevfs-copy seems to be the source of the problem.  When I copy a local file into a not-yet-created file on the remote server, I get a protocol error.
computer:~/Desktop$ gnomevfs-copy foo sftp://server/home/person/foo
Failed to copy foo to sftp://server/home/person/foo
Reason: Protocol error
