I'm using 11.04 Natty, and I can confirm this bug still happens. It doesn't matter which particular ftp server is running on the server: wether it's wu-ftpd, pure-ftpd, wzdftpd or vsftpd, the bug happens in virtually exactly the same way. I've tried them all (thinking it might be their fault some

Another workaround which is more Gnome-esque (than Dolphin) is to install thunar, and libdesktop-agnostic-vfs-thunar. The relevance to this bug is this: perhaps some developer (which I'm not) might want to look over the FTP-related code in libdesktop- agnostic-vfs-thunar, and perhaps use it someho

I have been using some kind of linux distro since 1997, and in all that time, I have never, ever been "done like this" before. I have a few specific egregious gripes to add, after dragging myself out of a horrendous upgrade. Good thing I have a Computer Science Degree, and 5 years experience as a

The bug seems to be that Nautilus cannot open a URI beginning with "file:///" that includes a filename at the end. Here's how to easily reproduce the bug: 1. Install Thunar (which does not have this bug). 2. Choose or create an arbitrary file (say, from LibreOffice Writer), let's say "/home/myus

OK, here's how to reproduce the bug from a default Ubuntu install: (Note: When Ubuntu is installed by default, there is only one file browser, Nautilus. In the "Preferred Applications" utility (easily searched for in the Launcher), there is no place to specify one's favorite File Manager/File Bro

Chris: please pardon my lack of experience in this, but I noticed that on the "All software packages for Oneiric" page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/allpackages ...that gfvs is listed as 1.9.3. Does this mean that this bug fix will probably only make it into Oneric + 1? In other words, i

Oh Ubuntu Devs! Harken to my appeal! Have mercy! Please include gvfs 1.9.4 in Oneiric! I feel that including this fix will deliver lots of "bang for the buck," because it will kill two birds with one stone, and thereby avoid these two "embarrassments": 1) Ubuntu not having any working graphica
