Description Bert Vermeulen 2004-11-05 16:54:24 UTC 
sumner: gnomevfs-ls ftp://biot.com/
Error opening: Data corrupted

sumner: gnomevfs-ls ftp://213.193.144.100/
biolinux                (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 4096       mode 0755

biot.com has an AAAA record, and while gnome-vfs tries to use that, it doesn't
know to use EPSV instead of PASV.

Basically, RFC 2428 support needs to be implemented.

A quick workaround might be to not attempt to connect to IPv6 addresses for FTP;
this will at least make things work.

Comment 7 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:03:11 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
