Can't view/open ftp files
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2013 10:13 am
Hi.
I am using pcmanfm 1.1.2 with libfm 1.1.4 and gvfs 1.16.4 in Gentoo.
I can connect to my ftp server, and I see my files listed in pcmanfm. But I can't seem to open any of them at all. I have tried txt and jpg/png files so far, but I don't think any other type of file will make a difference, since it seems that the parameter is not passed to the file handler/editor at all. I said so because I have tried running the tools in the terminal.
The behaviour in such cases depends of the concrete tool. Feh tries to open all the files in my home directory. Geany on the other side just opens the last file I had edited which is also in my $HOME.
A doubt I have is how would pcmanfm handle this, anyway... I mean, is pcmanfm supposed to:
a) pass the url (with user and password) to the handler
b) copy the file to local and open it with the handlers, as, let's say, filezilla does?
c) some other thing?
In case b) all should just work. But case a) is more complicated, since it requires that the handler will be able to understand the URI which, unfortunately, is not the norm (much less for ftp, and much less when the user:pass string is included in the URI).
Any help in understanding what's going on will be appreciated.
Thanks
EDITED: A typo.
