[Bug 174653] [NEW] Inconsistent handling of default sftp path

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: dolphin

I'm using an older version of Ubuntu, so this may have been fixed
already, but...

If I connect to an sftp server without specifying a directory (eg, "sftp://josh@remotehost"), dolphin displays my home directory. OK, so far so good.
Now, if I try to create a new folder by, eg, right-click->Create New->Folder, it gives me an error that I don't have permission.

Apparently, it's displaying my home directory but trying to write to the root directory!
If I change the path to specify (eg, sftp://josh@remotehost/home/josh), then everything works fine.

I think dolphin should mimic konqueror's behavior of defaulting to the
hom path if none is specified in the uri, but I'd be happy with not
doing that so long as it actually displays the right directory.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
