Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gvfs
When connecting to an anonymous FTP account on an FTP server, the gvfs- backend for ftp does not send an argument with the PASS command. This means that for any RFC959 compliant server will not allow the anonymous entry and send back an error message (501 Syntax error: command (PASS) needs an argument.) If the server allows for PASS without an argument (against RFC959) everything will be ok, and the anonymous ftp will be mounted without any problem. When does this happen: always, when connecting with an anonymous FTP server using nautilus. To reproduce it (this is just how I came across it): - Install pyftpdlib from my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~bneijt/+archive/ppa or download it from http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/ - Download an older version of shareftp [1] - Run "shareftp -a" (make sure you have python-avahi installed) - Browse to the ShareFTP share under Network in Nautilus.
