GOF.Directory.Async problem with FTP

[The Lemon Man]

When trying to load an ftp mount that's been previously mounted using gvfs-mount no folder is shown in Files while Thunar and ls do show the content. I spent some time tracking down the problem and as soon as I enabled the debug messages I noticed mount_mountable was being abruptly interrupted by some other procedure calling the .cancel () method on the object-shared cancellable.

I could not confirm this with the following steps:

1) Close Files
2) in terminal: gvfs-mount ftp://xxxx@yyyy/share_path (where the server is on the local network)
3) Enter password when requested
3) Open FIles
4) The mount mounted in 2) appears under "Network" in the sidebar
5) Clicking on the mount in the sidebar displays the contents OK.

It also worked using an anonymous login on a public internet FTP site.

This was using elementary OS 0.3.1 Freya (64 bit) and Files rev 1975

Please describe in more details the steps used to reproduce this bug.

If you can, could you see whether this bug occurs in lp:~jeremywootten/pantheon-files/refactor-async-directory?

For me it's enough to do the following steps:

1) gvfs-mount "ftp://<email address hidden>"
2) Open pantheon-files.
3) Clicking the mount on the sidebar shows the error page.

The branch you linked solves the issue, so yay.

The newly linked branch is less complex and far-reaching (although less satisfactory in some ways) so is more likely to get merged.
