Description Vitaly 2013-05-04 22:14:38 UTC

I've got an error when opening a document from a nautilus-mounted ftp:
'General input/output error while accessing <path/to/doc>'.

Documents located on my pc open without any problems.
I've also tryed to mount an ftp share using curlftpfs and got the same error.

openSUSE Linux 11.4
Gnome 2.32.1
Libreoffice 3.5

Same on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539)
LibreOffice 4.1.0.0.beta1 Build ID: 5271b34bec742e190e2fe5a7dadb7334a705b54

Opening a document in Writer (for example) File - Open - ftp://server/document.odt causes the same error.

Reason: LibreOffice wants to write a temporary file on C: instead of writing to the temp-directory of the user. Writing and deleting directly on C: is not allowed in Win 7 and 8 as normal user, only as admin.

changing status to NEW and platform to ALL according to previous comment.

Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2013-09-25 08:03:29 UTC

Confirming also on Linux Ubuntu Raring Ringtail 32bit

Before I get the general input/output error, I also get a "This file is corrupted...do you want LO to repair it, blah blah blah" message.

Should be already fixed in 4.1 with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f574e1defdb537bdd741edd2523563aa0b03be5a. Opening with gvfs-fuse mounted path is not supported by LO, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885156#c19. Probably a duplicate of some bug, but I'm not going to search for it now. Bug 58236 might be also a duplicate.
