unable to connect to specific FTP site

[Jerome Haltom]

I have found a circumstance where GnomeVFS (Nautilus) cannot connect to a FTP site that Windows Explorer has no trouble connecting to. I made a short transcript of the session which pretty clearly illustrates the problem.

I am navigating to ftp://ftp.foo.com/DirectoryName/

And then Nautilus errors. Basically, it is trying to CWD to / and failing, even though I am navigating to /DirectoryName. I'm sure that if it had succeeded at navigating to / it would have then proceeded to navigate to the proper place. Explorer does not try to CWD / first.

So, it should probably not do this. I can't think of a very good reason why it would need to.
