From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: There seems to be some problem with the way gftp options generates the dialog it hands off to an ftp proxy Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Fire up gftp - no $HOME/.gftp dir, so this is a clean config 2.Select "FTP -> Options" from menu bar, followed by "FTP" tab 3.Enter (for example) "localhost" as Proxy Hostname, 3121 as Proxy port, and "user@host NOAUTH" as Proxy server type 4.Proposed proxy dialog appears in window as "USER %hu@%hh" followed by "PASS %hp" 5.Click "OK" to save, and then return to step 2. Actual Results: Proposed dialog now reads "Custom" type instead of "user@host NOAUTH", and is the following: USER %hu@%hh PASS %hp USER %hu@%hh PASS %hp NB the original (correct) proxy dialog seems to have been duplicated Expected Results: Dialog should have been as originally proposed and saved, type should not be "Custom" but should be as originally selected ("user@host NOAUTH" in this example) Additional info: If, having done this, you shut down gftp, manually edit $HOME/.gftp/gftprc and change the proxy_config variable on line 102 to what it "should" be (ie "USER %hu@%hh%nPASS %hp%n" in this case) then, on starting up gftp again and looking at the FTP Options everything looks OK and it works as originally expected. I also don't think this is a gftp problem as such because I installed Valhalla's gftp-2.0.11-2 on an Enigma box and it seemed to work OK. I have no idea of the root cause here, although maybe it could be something to do with gtk+ (the only package upon which gftp appears to depend according to RPM)
Note sent upstream about this.
Reply from Brian Masney: I just checked this, and this bug isn't present in my current version of gftp. I do have a newer version of gftp online at http://www.gftp.org/gftp-2.0.13-beta.tar.bz2 that I'd like to get into the next redhat release. I'm going to finish going through all my email in the next week and make sure there is no outstanding bugs to fix, then make a final release of gftp. One thing to note on this release I took out several options and took out the legacy SSH protocol. It's all documented in the changelog.
I've tested this with the latest rawhide package. gftp still writes a lot of garbage into gftprc: proxy_config=USER %hu@%hh%nPASS %hp%nUSER %hu@%hh%nPASS %hp%n@^K1@0<d6>^T^H<a0>e^QBx<e9><ff><bf><e1><dd>^FB(<9b>%n^H<a0>e^QBkp0@@^K1@(<9b>%n^H<a0>e^QB<98><e9><ff><bf>^L@0@<b0>e^QB<80>S^QB<b8><e9><ff><bf><b6><e8>^FB<a0>e^QB(<9b>%n^H<c8><e9><ff><bf><d0>$^^@X<ca>^T^H^A
I can't reproduce this with gftp-2.0.13-4. Seems to be fixed now?
Yes - seems to be fixed in 2.0.13-4
