#1061 assigned defect

SFTP directory listing doesn't show (or shows wrong mtime and size for) files that have been opened but not yet uploaded

Reported by: davidsarah Owned by: davidsarah
Priority: major Milestone: soon
Component: code-frontend-ftp-sftp Version: 1.6.1
Keywords: sftp metadata time test Cc:
Launchpad Bug:

Description (last modified by daira)

Original problem: The SFTP implementation showed all modification times in directory listings as 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, converted to local time.

Current problem: 'openDirectory' does not consult the list of heisenfiles. So a directory listing might not show the existence or correct metadata for a file that has not been uploaded yet.

This is now working in some cases, but there is an additional problem with 'openDirectory' not consulting the list of open files (heisenfiles). So a directory listing might not show the existence or correct metadata for a file that has not been uploaded yet.

The original problem was due to the "atime" field not being set in the case where the modification time is obtained from tahoe:linkmotime. (The SFTP protocol requires both "atime" and "mtime" to be present if either are.)

I think this would be fixed by c1412c8a81aa395d. David-Sarah: is that right?

Apart from the problem with directory listings mentioned in comment:2, yes. I don't intend to fix that problem for 1.7.0.
