Hello Sebastien. You need to define 'normally' in order for me to properly respond to your question. If you mean typing the URL on the text-based location bar on nautilus (i.e. ftp://ftp.server.net/') then yes. Note that this issue manifests itself ONLY on authenticated connections (not anonymous FTP).
Nevertheless, in responding to your question, let me add the following observations: I am experiencing this issue on FTP accounts with login. This is always reproducible. In addition, as of today I've noticed the following: 1. The FTP icon disappears from the desktop when I try to enter a path on the FTP using the text-entry location bar in nautilus (just like it would if the FTP connection was unmounted). 2. A gvfsd-ftp process (there are two such processes showing up. One persists even after I unmount all FTP mounts. A stale/non-responsive process perhaps?) disappears from the system monitor. Sometimes the mount will automatically reappear after a few seconds, others I will have to 'reconnect' manually. 3. Sometimes, instead of showing the home directory, Nautilus displays a dialog with the following: Title: The folder contents could not be displayed. Message: Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "wp-content": The specified location is not mounted Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional information. I'll try to make some time to debug this in the next few days. -- Cannot navigate to FTP location (gvfs) using text-based location bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209355 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
