Bug Description

when I connect to a server using ssh (sftp), the remote file list displays wrong names in the Owner and Group column. It seems to display the local names coresponding to the remote user and group numerical IDs.

Ubuntu 8.04
dag@tp:~$ apt-cache policy nautilus

This makes Nautilus' SFTP support pretty useless... Didn't GNOME-VFS ignore the permissions, thus solving this?

This is a HUGE bug, it's totally disturbing my work... Everything using nautilus or just the "open file" dialog seems to be affected and I have to work on a distant server. Back to the shell it seems... Hope there is a fix soon!

I don't think there is a fix soon, I'm tracking this bug since hardy's release.

Any fix coming? This affectsfor my work badly, since I can't open any source files from remote servers (and SAVE them)... Is there any hope of patch coming or is "upgrading" to Debian 5 only solution? (it ship with old gnome-vfs without the bug)

the bug is an upstream one and you should rather ask this question on bugzilla.gnome.org, note that debian uses gvfs too in some application so might get the bug
