From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.5-0.2.9 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010608 BuildID: 2001060810 If file is downloaded into non-owned directory, file is stored as usual in cache directory, but fails silently during transfer from cache to destination directory. There probably should be a check for legality at the file-name selector stage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.chose remote download file 2.select download to file 3.select (accidentally read-only) directory Actual Results: File downloads as normal to cache. File appears to transfer (no error diagnostics) to destination directory. Transfer dialoq box closes. Only inspection shows downloaded file is missing. Expected Results: Checked destination directory for legality before starting download

Over to networking: file. We start the download before we know the destination, actually. But checking on return from the filepicker seems like a great idea!

bill, sounds like this is yours.

yeah there's mention in another bug that this code had absolutely no errror checking. This is probably the third or fourth bug about the same code blocks :(

Can you give the exact steps, so I can mark dupes for different download methods? timeless: what I want to do is create a bug for each filesystem behavior we neglect (write permission, disk full, quotas, etc), and then link a bug for each type of file transfer that is affected as a dependency, and then link everything else into those bugs as duplicates. I'm crusing through the component, but if you have favorites, lemme know.

-> file
