Bug Description
Network resources, no matter is it a shared folder added from local network, FTP server connected from the net, etc. have fixed names that user cannot change.
This is annoying and irrelevant behaviour, because local folders strictly inherit name pattern <folder name in the host's computer> on <host's computer network name>.
This just is not nice sometimes, for example when you drag a shortcut of such a network destination to the Places, of when folder name in the host computer is in a language that is different from your system's interface.
For example, «общая папка on notebook», or «114-B on jons-desktop».
Sometimes name of the folder in the host's computer makes sense in the whole folder hierarchy, but not alone, etc.
And at last, I just cannot see a reason, why behaviour of the network resources should differ from one of usual folders?

I have no problem executing
ln -sfT ~/.gvfs/"FTP as username on hostname" мой
if that's what you mean.
