Description Matt T. Proud 2004-03-02 23:20:02 UTC 
Suppose one types in an address like
ftp://nonexistantuser@hostthatacceptsftpbuthasnosuchuser.com into Nautilus.
Nautilus will hang until the user clicks stop, despite gnome-vfs reporting
the following to the console:

nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "530 Login
incorrect."


(nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "530 Login
incorrect."


(nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "530 Login
incorrect."

(nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "530 Login
incorrect."


(nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "530 Login
incorrect."


(nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **:
gnome_vfs_inet_connection_create ("ftp.X.X.edu", 0) = "Operation cancelled"


This even occurs for servers that only allow anonymous logins, like
ftp.cdrom.com: 
(nautilus:27303): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "421 Only
anonymous logins are allowed here."


(nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "421 Only
anonymous logins are allowed here."


(nautilus:27306): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: FTP server said: "421 Only
anonymous logins are allowed here."

This behavior is bunk and should be fixed to ensure great usability.

I doubt that this can be fixed in the 2.6.0 timeframe, but Dave, Alex,
I'd love for you to take a look at this, given that it is going to
show up when people experiment with the new nautilus network locations.
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2004-03-08 22:05:15 UTC 
I think this if fixed in HEAD.
