GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 522447
anonymous ftp bookmark handling
Last modified: 2015-06-30 13:15:31 UTC
I added a bookmark for an anonymous ftp server. It ended up in ~/.gtk-bookmarks as ftp://anonymous@ftp.gtk.org/ title When I select that bookmark in the panel places>bookmarks menu, I get a password dialog, in which "Connect as user" is selected, and the user name is anonymous. Clearly that is not intended, the connection should either be done without any password dialog, or "Connect anonymously" should be selected.
Further, if I cancel the password dialog, I get an error dialog saying: Couldn't display "ftp://anonymous@ftp.gtk.org/". Access was denied. If I cancel the password dialog, there should be no attempt to establish a connection.
First issue is fixed now in SVN.
Thanks for taking the time to report this. I can't reproduce with 3.16. Everything seems to be working as expected. Please feel free to reopen this bug report if the problem still occurs with a recent version of GNOME.
