Description Keith Lea 2005-02-25 19:26:44 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I visit an FTP site (with login), and I forget to type a starting folder,
it defaults to "/". On my host, it appears that I don't have read access to "/",
or something like that. My bug report is: in this situation, nautilus shows an
error message "Error Displaying Folder" which says "The folder contents could
not be displayed. - Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of ftp:
standardoilrecords.com."

This error message is confusing and does not tell me what the problem is.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
