Nautilus FTP fails with ReadyNAS & ProFTPD

[Steven McCoy]

Binary package hint: nautilus

NETGEAR ReadyNAS with RAIDiator 4.01c1-p1 version running ProFTPD 1.3.1.

Ubuntu 8.04 cannot access FTP share with Nautilus 1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2 displaying error message:

  Couldn't display "ftp://<email address hidden>/"

  Error: Invalid reply
  Please select another viewer and try again.

Yet Firefox and command line ftp can view the FTP server correctly in active or passive mode:

steve-o@aiko:~$ ftp osaka.katonah.vxintimate.com

Oh, might be a dupe of Bug #208750
