problems with numbers as ftp folder names
Last modified: 2005-09-25 16:42:14 UTC
Please describe the problem: When there is a folder on a ftp server that is a number (i.e. a folder named "2005") and you view the ftp server with nautilus, the folder is not recognized correctly. The file following (i.e. "index.html") is contained in the folder name. Nautilus should display the folder "2005" and the file "index.html", but instead it displays a folder with this name: "-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp-username ftp-username 747 Jan 7 2005 index.html" Steps to reproduce: 1. use any other ftp client, open or create an empty folder and create the folder "2005" and the file "index.html" in it 2. connect to the ftp server with nautilus 3. display the folder Actual results: nautilus displays "-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp-username ftp-username 747 Jan 7 2005 index.html" as folder Expected results: nautilus should display the folder called "2005" and the file "index.html" Does this happen every time? yes, and it already happened before with an older version of nautilus, but I did not report it Other information: for me not knowing about the nautilus sourcecode it looks like nautilus needs alphabetical letters in the filename and recognizes all information about the folder provided from the ftp server as part of the next filename
What server? Do you have some URL to test this?
Sorry, it is a private webspace. That problem occured with my old webhost netclusive.de and with the current crazywebspace.de (Apache/1.3.33). If you know any public ftp server where uploads are allowed I could create and test it there too and post the URL here.
