Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up a ~/.netrc with credentials for a given server
2. Verify that automatic login with those credentials works when using command-line ftp
3. In a Nautilus window, select Connect to Server, enter given server and choose FTP (with login) as type
What happens:
Nautilus prompts for login credentials (User name, Password) with nothing in the fields pre-filled.
What I expect to happen:
For the fields to be automatically filled with the credentials I've already specified in ~/.netrc.
Additional info:
Nautilus apparently has its own way of storing credentials (i.e. different from ~/.netrc). When it has credentials of its own for a server, those should obviously come first. But when it doesn't, it should utilize ~/.netrc if possible.
