Ubuntu version : 20.04 How to trigger : 1) Lauch nautilus 2) Type CTRL-L 3) Type ftp://<ip address of an FTP server that only accepts active connections> 4) The dialog opens and asks for an anonymous connection or a username and a password. 5) Type an username and password 6) Nautilus is stuck trying to load the directory.
The FTP I'm trying to connect to is private, so I can't share the IP address. Using command-line FTP, it is possible to retrieve the directory listing or download a file only after exiting passive mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260334 Title: gvfs FTP only does passive connections Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gvfs Connections to FTP servers that require an active connection fail. While this can be seen as a feature request, it can also be considered a bug because it does not implement FTP functionality correctly. Suggested solution: Checkbox active/passive in "connect to server" dialogue box. No idea on how to implement it when connecting to an FTP via the address bar.
