Title:
  Connect to FTP with Login > Error "The file is not a directory"

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 8.04 & 8.10
  Using Nautilus Connect to server, and choosing FTP (with login), entering (domain/IP) address, user, and hitting "Connect".

  Prompts for password, and then displays:

  "The folder contents could not be displayed"
  "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "/ on [host-address/IP]": The file is not a directory"

  To me it seems to be a problem with the directory on the server. the
  folder for the user is not the root / folder of the server it is:
  "/d:/www/edvl/domain.ch/html" when i connect with FireFTP or other
  clients.

  So Nautilus tries to connect to domain.ch/ where it has no permission!

  When connecting with the ftp> (Terminal) to "domain.ch/" there is also an error "ftp: domain.ch/: Unknown host
  Opening "domain.ch" leads to prompting the Username and afterwards the pw

  Perhaps Nautilus automatically adds the / at the end of the URL and
  this causes problems.

  Connecting directly to domain.ch/d:/www/edvl/domain.ch/html does not
  work neither.
