Data loss when using Thunar and SFTP connection

[LL-user]

Hi TC, hope you enjoyed your coffee

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

A bit more input from my end/ about testing sftp connection from LL3.0 (client) to LL2.8 (server)

• As mentioned before I'm not talking about root permissioned files! The files are owned by a user with UID=1000, GID=1000 (basically the first user after install) and are remotely accessed by a user with UID=1000, GID=1000.
  
• I only get prompted for authentication when I establish the fstp connection via the file manager - as it always has been.
  
• The text files I actually never tried to open with LibreOffice - I keep things simple Opening plain text files with LibreOffice also fails, as with the other (LO) files. When I try opening the remote file via the command line I'm getting a pop-up window with the error message: "General input/output error while accessing <path/to/file>"
  
• As mentioned before, opening remote txt files via Leafpad is possible without error, it even saves changes without error - BUT with the result of wiping its content. Interestingly, using gedit as a text editor does not show this data loss!
  

So for now,

• using a different text editor for txt files is a nice workaround.
  
• LO files can't be opened.
  
• other files (picture, videos, etc.) open up without problem
  

Thanks for taking the time, TC!
