I also had this problem. I've checked seahorse for an existing stored password and found one. After removing the password, FTP folger worked again.
Same problem next time when password will be changed again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312722 Title: Connect to FTP with Login > Error "The file is not a directory" Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 8.04 & 8.10 Using Nautilus Connect to server, and choosing FTP (with login), entering (domain/IP) address, user, and hitting "Connect". Prompts for password, and then displays: "The folder contents could not be displayed" "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "/ on [host-address/IP]": The file is not a directory" To me it seems to be a problem with the directory on the server. the folder for the user is not the root / folder of the server it is: "/d:/www/edvl/domain.ch/html" when i connect with FireFTP or other clients. So Nautilus tries to connect to domain.ch/ where it has no permission! When connecting with the ftp> (Terminal) to "domain.ch/" there is also an error "ftp: domain.ch/: Unknown host Opening "domain.ch" leads to prompting the Username and afterwards the pw Perhaps Nautilus automatically adds the / at the end of the URL and this causes problems. Connecting directly to domain.ch/d:/www/edvl/domain.ch/html does not work neither.
