Public bug reported: I have tried to use Nautilus to browse an FTP directory for my site, where I log in to ftp://mysite.com. The server successfully redirects other clients to ftp://mysite.com/accountID, as the site is on a shared hosting service, and so my site actually resides in a subdirectory on the server.
Nautilus fails to follow the redirect, and so is naturally denied access to the top-level directory outside my site's directory. To illustrate the redirect , after logging in with 'ftp mysite.com' in a terminal, 'pwd' gives '257 "/accountID" is current directory.' ** Affects: gnome-vfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Fix Committed -- Nautilus FTP vfs doesn't follow redirects https://launchpad.net/bugs/46656 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
