Openoffice Nautilus sftp can not write to remote file

Asked by alfred_nutile on 2008-09-11

I posted this for Hardy but I am hoping there is a way to keep this active for intrepid.
The error still remains after the entire new gnome file management structure.
So if I do sftp via Nautilus then open a file in OpenOffice (2.4 or 3.x) the window that pops up says
username : prefilled
password: empty
And you enter the password and it pops up again
username: gone w/ no way to type it in
password: try again and then get i/o error.
I have a screen shot but do not see a way to update it.

If you chaeck the properties in the Open Office Launcher, you can see:

ooffice -base %U

This send some arguments, then when you try to run from nautilus, doing
double click you don't send the arguments.

I think that how Linux use the inodes for files, then must to say to OO how
is open or using a file,

Think about it

Not sure though if this helps.
For example Fiesty fawn days...
Make ssh connection in Nautilus
Click on file
Edit
Close file
Done
Amazing selling point to the linux desktop.

Now since Gutsy
Click on file
get dialog
readonly form field username and it is right.
enter password and it comes back w/ no username.

So not sure how the above applies?
Thanks
