33320 - Problem encountered because of Unix Directory Permissions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27609

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[sam williams]

Just tried to download a file twice into a secured directory. The response
through me for a second. Mozilla reported encountering an unknown error then
aborted the download. The problem was repeatable. The destination directory was
root-owned and not opened to public writes.

The problem was corrected when the file was downloaded into a user-writable
directory. Current build id is 2000032309.

[e-mail] - I take it you were not running as root at the time? And your 
problem is that Mozilla does not give a descriptive enough error?

Sounds like we need a better dialog when we don't have permission to write to a
file.  Sending to XPApps.  If you guys don't own these dialogs can you send this
to the person who does.  Thanks

This is a DUP of bug 27609, "Need more informative alert for file save failure",
M15, a leftover from bug 23821, "No write permission on file: save file dies; 
no alert".
