            Bug ID: 507922
           Summary: Dolphin SFTP Cannot Reach Root Directory
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: bars: location

  Target Milestone: ---

When connecting to a remote server via sftp:[email protected] for example,
it is impossible to reach the root of the filesystem (`/` with boot, etc, home,
opt... not `/root`) of the server. By default, dolphin will take me to
/home/daniel and show `sftp : 192.168.122.1 > home > daniel` in the location
bar. When I click on the arrow between `sftp : 192.168.122.1` and `home` I can
see a drop down of the contents in the root of the filesystem: boot, etc,
home... When I click on the `home` button it takes to /home as exepcted. When I
click on `sftp : 192.168.122.1` it takes me back to `/home/daniel`, but now the
location bar just says `sftp : 192.168.122.1`. There is no way to reach /
without symlinking it in my home folder `ln -s / /home/daniel/rootdir`.  This
can be reproduced on a Fedora 42 KDE live cd and trying to connect to the host.

According to the discussion thread, it looks like this also effects the fish
protocol: https://discuss.kde.org/t/sftp-root-directory/38039 .
