GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 142978
Display password/username request dialog when default authentication fails on FTP resources
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Attempt to log into various network services that require authentication... Examples: ftp://protectedserver.somewhere.abc ftp://user@protectedserver.somewhere.abc The addition of an option to have the system default to opening a password/username dialog when authentication fails (as apposed to a "could not connect/log on" error) would simplify the user experience when attempting to connect to protected resources. This would be similar to Gnome's behavior when connecting to Samba shares.
Thanks for the bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 114572 ***
