From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313 Description of problem: If you open an ftp site with nautilus using a username:password combination (ex. ftp://etwilson:password@hostname.domain) it will open up in your home directory. This is expected behavior. If you then try to browse to a sub-directory by clicking on one of the folder icons, you get something like this error message: Couldn't find "ftp://etwilson:password@hostname.domain/subdir". Please check the spelling and try again. If you add "/home/username" to the end of the url and click enter, nautilus will show you your home directory just as above but in this case the folders are functional and you do not get errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.2.1-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Nautilus. 2.Type in an ftp url of a machine that you have an account on, using the username:password format. 3.Wait for the directory listing to be shown. 4.Click on any folder. Actual Results: you get the error message: Couldn't find "ftp://etwilson:password@hostname.domain/subdir". Please check the spelling and try again. Expected Results: You should be able to browse to subdirectories from your home directory. Nautilus should just add the "/home/username" suffix to the url automatically when you have entered a username and password. Additional info:
This is a gnome-vfs bug really. I know something related to this was fixed upstream. Need to check that.
This should be fixed from 2.2.4 which is in rawhide.
Can confirm the fix mentioned above. Has been fixed for a long time. Closing.
