Description Matthias Clasen 2008-03-14 16:27:29 UTC 
I select a bookmark for an anonymous ftp server from the panel menu.

I correct the password dialog to connect anonymously, and press connect.

Result: an error dialog saying:

 
Can't display location "ftp://anonymous@ftp.gtk.org/"

Unable to mount the location.


But, looking at the desktop, the location _has_ been mounted, and an icon has appeared on the desktop for it. Opening that works just fine.

-> GIO.

Confirming and CC-ing Benjamin.
Comment 2 Benjamin Otte (Company) 2008-03-15 13:08:36 UTC 
This is a general problem with the way URLs are canonicalized (for lack of a better word) by the backends. If someone goes to ftp://alex@host and then enters "gicmo" as his username, we want the mount to refer to ftp://gicmo@host and not ftp://alex@host. But afaics Nautilus assumes that if it mounts ftp://alex@host that an identical host url is mounted.

The same issue exists for SFTP at least, but probably other backends, too.

I have no idea how best to solve that problem.

	* daemon/gvfsbackendftp.c (do_mount):
	Correctly handle username in mountspec. Only set it if
	it was in the requested mountspec (and only to that value).
	Fixes #522449
