When trying to drag a folder from an FTP server to a local folder, one gets an error message like "There was an error copying the file into /home/user/destination_folder/".

I am attaching a screenshot of the message.

This has been reported by two people on the ubuntu-nl mailinglist and I can reproduce it. All are using Hardy.

The nautilus interface suggests dragging folders should work, just like dragging files.

Steps to reproduce:
  - open a nautilus window (Places -> Desktop)
  - connect to an FTP server (File -> Connect to server...)
  - Service type: public FTP (FTP with a login also has this issue)
  - Server: ftp.xs4all.nl
  - click 'Connect'
  - drag a remote folder to the desktop folder
  - observe the error message (see attachment)
  - observe nothing is being copied
