[Bug 467592] [NEW] curlftpfs io error with simple use case

[Graham Watson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: curlftpfs

Under a simple use case, curlftpfs doesn't work.

Enter the following at a terminal:

mkdir test
sudo curlftpfs -o allow_other upload.ntlworld.com test
echo Hello > test/test.txt

(note the curlftpfs command needs your logon details to be stored in
~/.netrc prior to issuing this command)

The output from the echo command is:

bash: echo: write error: Input/output error

Another use case that exhibits the same behaviour is:

mkdir .git
sudo curlftpfs -o allow_other upload.ntlworld.com .git
git init

Output of the git command is:

error: /home/graham/.git/description: close error: Input/output error
fatal: cannot copy /usr/share/git-core/templates/description to /home/graham/.git/description

I'm guessing that both the echo and git use case are caused by the same
bug as they exhibit very similar behaviours. I read somewhere on the
internet that this is caused by the ftp file being flushed before the
release command, or something like that, but I can't find the article
any more sorry!
