[Subharo Bhikkhu <574693@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using 11.04 Natty, and I can confirm this bug still happens.

It doesn't matter which particular ftp server is running on the server:
wether it's wu-ftpd, pure-ftpd, wzdftpd or vsftpd, the bug happens in
virtually exactly the same way.  I've tried them all (thinking it might
be their fault somehow).

And I can confirm that FileZilla can do bulk file transfers with no
problems, connecting to those same servers.

So the problem clearly lies with Nautilus' VFS subsystem, as it handles
bulk FTP file transfers.

Please fix this, since fast (i.e. faster than SFTP), easy file transfers
on a LAN (where encrypting connection authentication isn't all that
crucial, thanks to the protection from the internet by a firewall) are
in my opinion *a basic office necessity*.

It would be a pity to have to rely on ancient, sometimes-inconsistent
Microsoft-designed SMB networking (ie. creating file shares using
nautilus-share), when an FTP daemon + avahi-daemon can do it better and
faster, sticking to good-old TCP/IP.

Title:
  nautilus ftp file transfer hangs in lucid

Status in Nautilus:
  In Progress
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  1) 
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:	11.04

  2)
  nautilus version: 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu4; 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
  gvfs version: 1.8.0-0ubuntu2

  3) I tried to copy a directory with files from a server to my PC via
  FTP. I expected finishing the transfer.

  4) The file transfer window appears and after a few percent of
  progress, it stops copying. I can not close the window, because when I
  click the cancel button, it goes to gray and nothing happens after
  that, so I have to kill the nautilus process.

  When I had tried to copy the same directory again, it stopped at the same percent of progress.
  Copying the same directory in nautilus via SFTP works flawlessly. Also copying that directory by gFTP works without problem.
  I did not see any error messages or entries in syslog related to this problem.
