GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 44346
Nautilus should ask for a password for not anonymous ftp logins
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper: You shouldn't have to type you ftp password in the uri, instead Nautilus should ask you four it and hide from in the navigation bar. Just the same way as old netscape does. * REPRODUCIBLE: Always * STEPS TO REPRODUCE: type ftp://someuser@somehost. * ACTUAL RESULTS: If someuser needs a password nautilus wont ask it four you. * EXPECTED RESULTS: Nautilus should have asked for my someuser's password and try to login again (Hiden the password from the navigation bar). ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-11-01 09:41:36 ---- Great point. We'd like to do this feature -- but not for 1.0. This is related to bug 42126. ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2000-12-18 19:45:47 ---- How annoying is this behavior to users? ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2000-12-19 07:24:20 ---- It's worse than just annoying, it means Nautilus can't be used to access any ftp site that requires logging in, which is many of them. ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2000-12-19 13:14:08 ---- Ouch. OK, then this is more related to bug #42126 than I thought. Is it actually a dup? (It's starting to look that way to me.) ------- Additional Comments From snickell@stanford.edu 2001-07-23 00:39:38 ---- Taking bugs previously assigned to Pavel, assigning them to myself. Will parse them out at my leisure , but many are GnomeVFS bugs we should look at for 2.0 ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:45 -------
Created attachment 8286 [details] [review] A simple attempt at fixing this. Tests indicate that it works; no guarantees, tho.
Could you post this as a unified diff, and I'll try to get Ian to look at it?

Borderline enhancement/bad bug... leaning towards bad bug for now, but not 'high' priority because most people still use Real FTP Clients so this isn't (yet) an expected nautilus behavior.
It would be nice if login dialogs were supported by all vfs methods. That way i could use nautilus to browse ftp, ssh etc. that would rock. I really think this is a bad bug too, since nonanon ftp is something that nautilus should really be able to handle (definately would make my life easier).
CC'ing Shawn. Shawn can you past that patch as a unified diff (sorry, didn't notice you weren't on the CC list)
after looking quickly at this patch, it seems to only fix part of the problem: it will correctly ask for a password when needed, but if you use this module in nautilus, it will keep asking the password for most gnome-vfs operations (ie it will ask the password one or two times each time you double click on a directory for example). We need to cache this login/password somewhere to have this bug correctly fixed Shawn: please correct me if I missed something in your patch
