            Bug ID: 501697
           Summary: Can't create symlinks over sftp using Dolphin
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.12.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: s404.gordon at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Can't create symlink using dolphin, but can create it using internal kio
mountpoint

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to sftp server (I just typed sftp://username@hostname/ to the
address bar)
2. Go to RMB Menu->Create New->Link to File or Directory
3. Fill in symlink name and file name, press OK

OBSERVED RESULT
Symlink is created just fine

EXPECTED RESULT
I get "Could not create symlink sftp://username@hostname/path. Please check
permissions."

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I open any file in non-kde app, kio creates a mountpoint in
`/run/user/USERID/kio-RANDOMLETTERS/sftp/HOSTNAME/` and I can create a symlink
using `ln -s` just fine, so I think that's not KIO issue.
