Nautilus cannot connect to an ftp server which allows only one ftp connection from one IP/user/etc

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt]]

It seems I cannot connect to an FTP server with nautilus which allows only ONE connection per user/IP/etc. It's a major problem since many ISPs provides such an access for web storages since FTP is only provided to administrate the storage by its owner; to provide using 'ftp exchage file space' by multiple people a natural solution is to limit access to one instance only.

Thank you for your bug report. What version of ubuntu do you use?

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt] (lgb)]

Ubuntu hardy, 32 bit, version of nautilus package is 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu1. Is it fixed recently? Because I do not restart the machine nor logging in/out from gnome for some days, I will do that tomorrow when I have access to the machine again. Thanks.

does it work using gvfs-mount and gvfs-ls to list the directory?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

trying with a proftpd server that works correctly, that might be specific to the server you are using

does http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520399 describe your issue?

I am having this problem with Gnome 2.22.1 running on Hardy. The FTP server is Serv-U FTPD for Winsock (Windows). I can connect to the server and view the first directory listing (ie. in the server root directory), but I am unable to transfer files and sometimes I can't browse further into the remote filesystem. Nautilus will typically hang entirely, or show an error message stating the server has closed the connection. I have used Wireshark to see the traffic exchange between my machine and the FTP server, and it is returning "550 - Too many users connected, try again later".

Is there a way to limit Nautilus to X number of outgoing connections per server? Is there any more information I can provide to help identify this problem, as I am currently forced to use gFTP for such picky servers.

I'm having the same problem with connection-limiting FTP servers.

could anybody having the issue open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org? the gvfs ftp backend is not supposed to open several connection and somebody having the issue would be better placed to reply to their comments
