First of all, I agree with mouz that Nautilus should support the function, because it suggests support, and because it's possible to support it. Most FTP-clients support recursive operations, and in Nautilus, part of the needed code is already available (Nautilus is able to count the number of items in folders on FTP-sites).
Second, it's not about recursive operations. Even copying an empty folder results in this error. -- can not copy folders from FTP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
