That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/bugs/45988

"Nautilus displays wrong file sizes when the ftp server is setted as

ListOptions "-lh"

where h is --human-readable, ie 1kb instead of just 1000.

Nautilus seems not to understand this and display file size as bites, ie 1b instead of 1kb, 1Mb, etc.

Comment 1 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:03:17 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gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports.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.
