Sample Document with Versions

Problem description: 
When you open a document on a ftp server like 
ftp://user@server.de/folder/versionsample.ods
You can not select a particular version of the document 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Prepare a (password protcted) ftp location as mentioned 
   above and copy attached sample document to a folder 
   (use filzilla or whatever)
2. Launch LibO
3. Menu {File ► Open ► ftp://user@server.de/folder}
4. In Password  dialog box confirm with password 
   Folder with document will be shown
5. Click "versionsample.ods"

Current behavior: Version selector stays empty
Expected behavior: Versions shown

Problem is visible with Calc and Writer (other not tested) and in LibO File Dialog and WIN File Dialog.

I can't remember that that ever worked. 

Not a file problem, if you open the document and save it on your HDD for next open all Versions will be visible.

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.4.2 release

Repro Steps:
- Save/open attachment 102084 [details] in LibreOffice
- Check that multiple versions are available

Yes -- multiple versions can be accessed.

Then test w/remote FTP server:
> 1. Prepare a (password protcted) ftp location as mentioned 
>    above and copy attached sample document to a folder 
>    (use filzilla or whatever)
> 2. Launch LibO

Done

> 3. Menu {File ► Open ► ftp://user@server.de/folder}

I had to use the LibreOffice menus to open the FTP site
(Tools -> Options -> General -> Use LibreOffice Dialogs)

> 4. In Password  dialog box confirm with password 
>    Folder with document will be shown

Yes

> 5. Click "versionsample.ods"
> 
> Current behavior: Version selector stays empty
> Expected behavior: Versions shown

CONFIRMED: Version selector stays empty (checking the 'Read-only' option had no effect)

Status -> NEW

My guess is that the Version selector needs to query the file to ascertain that information, and that we don't currently run the query for files on remote filesystems.
