Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2003-10-26 06:57:14 UTC 
This is almost certainly something libgnome/gnome-vfs related
Comment 3 Christoph Wickert 2003-11-18 15:26:51 UTC 
Works after I added a handler for ftp in Filetypes&Applications.
Same with https. Problems only for people, who do not have
gnome-control-center installed.
Comment 4 Mike Chambers 2003-12-26 14:04:48 UTC 
Yep, can confirm if you add the protocol to preferences/files and
programs that clicking on the link will work.  Maybe this needs to be
changed to mozilla to include this feature when compiled?
Comment 5 Julien Olivier 2004-09-06 08:23:26 UTC 
Now that we can't edit File types & Applications anymore, it is
impossible to associate ftp:// protocol to anything if it's not
already done...
Comment 6 Alexander Larsson 2004-10-15 14:44:08 UTC 
There shouldn't be a handler for ftp:///. That breaks file-manager
handling of ftp uris. (It'll launch the app when you click on a subdir).

However, it should just automatically work (open the link in
nautilus). And it does seem to work fine for me on a fresh install of
the latest version of rawhide.
