Can't browse ftp

[Sebastian Breier]

Binary package hint: gvfs

Ubuntu hardy alpha-4
gvfs 0.1.6-0ubuntu2

I tried to browse an FTP directory with the following location: "ftp://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/"

I get the following error message instead of the file listing:

Couldn't display "ftp://ftp.services.openoffic...fice.org/contrib/dictionaries".
Error: No hostname specified
Please select another viewer and try again.

Thank you for your bug. That's a known issue, there is no ftp gvfs code yet

This is not a duplicate of bug #185756, which is about the lack of another backend.

it seems 0.1.7 have ftp and sftp .. no?

the url doesn't work, anyway no need to look on fedora, the upstream gvfs had a ftp structure but no useful code there, that's also the case in ubuntu

This bug was fixed in the package gvfs - 0.1.8svn20080228-0ubuntu1

---------------
gvfs (0.1.8svn20080228-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * SVN snapshot version:
    - new ftp backend, the code is still quite new and has issues though
      (lp: #188791)
  * debian/control.in:
    - build-depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, libxml2-dev, libexpat1-dev,
      libbluetooth-dev since the new version requires those

gvfs (0.1.8svn20080227-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * SVN snapshot version:
    - new obexftp backend (lp: #186973)
  * debian/control.in, debian/gvfs-backends.install:
    - updated to list the new obexftp backend
  * Sync with Debian
