Ah, thanks again, I had indeed to add a ftp.service file in /etc/avahi/services according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/avahi#Vsftpd Thanks for pointing me at that, I didn't know about avahi before.
Now, Nautilus finds that FTP server twice, one time with just (ftp) in brackets (that's the one I can connect to via "browse network") and one with (remote login) in brackets. (that's the one I can't connect to, the one from before.)
