Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

When creating a new folder, nautilus creates a folder named "untitled folder", and then rename it.
I have access to a FTP server where I can upload files, but can't delete or rename them. With nautilus, I can only create the folder named "untitled folder", renaming it or trying to create another folder fails. The only way I can create a folder with another name is to create the folder in a regular place, and then copy it.

thank you for your bug report, that's not really a nautilus bug though but rather a ftp limitation

I sometimes use rename on a folder with a similar name but do Ctrl C (copy) rather than actually renaming it and then use Ctrl V (paste) in the new folder and then tweak it.
