Has been tested on 7.04, 7.10 and 8.04. Still having issues. Through
troubleshooting I think OpenOffice may be the one causing this issue.

Cannot save file to FTP server (on desktop)
I also cannot rename the FTP server with a new connection nickname
once on the desktop.
Although the freeze is specific to Open Office, I still can't get a
program like gedit to save directly to FTP. This is a functionality that
those two other operation systems have, and definitely one which is
The following is OpenOffice writer crashing (frozen) when I try to add

@Pedro
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the
problem,
a) PlacesConnect to server
b) Enter valid FTP server specifications
c) Desktop link is created automatically
d) Create document in Open Office or gedit
e) Save file directly to FTP server [Cannot find FTP
As you can see, I can access my FTP using gnome/nautilus with no
problems. I can even write and delete files. Therefore you can throw out
the idea that it is an invalid FTP address.
