GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 143406
uri's"ftp://user@host" and "ftp://host" fail if a password is required for access
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
What happens: --- 1. Have ftp account which has the password set. 2. Try to open uri of the account (ftp://user@host or ftp://host, i.e. without specifying the password) with Nautilus using the Ctrl-L shortcut, in address bar or with similar methods. 3. nautilus popups a message box (`Couldn't display "ftp://bob@host"', 'The attempt to log in failed.') What should've happened: --- ... 3. popups a dialog where I can enter or modify my password/login --- This is a request for a feature, not a bug. FTP access works well all in itself. The problem is pretty obvious and I guess the developers just forgot or did not have time to implement.
