You have been subscribed to a public bug: Ubuntu 8.04 & 8.10 Using Nautilus Connect to server, and choosing FTP (with login), entering (domain/IP) address, user, and hitting "Connect".
Prompts for password, and then displays: "The folder contents could not be displayed" "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "/ on [host-address/IP]": The file is not a directory" To me it seems to be a problem with the directory on the server. the folder for the user is not the root / folder of the server it is: "/d:/www/edvl/domain.ch/html" when i connect with FireFTP or other clients. So Nautilus tries to connect to domain.ch/ where it has no permission! When connecting with the ftp> (Terminal) to "domain.ch/" there is also an error "ftp: domain.ch/: Unknown host Opening "domain.ch" leads to prompting the Username and afterwards the pw Perhaps Nautilus automatically adds the / at the end of the URL and this causes problems. Connecting directly to domain.ch/d:/www/edvl/domain.ch/html does not work neither.
