[Bug 963061] Re: Doesn't remember ftp password despite promising to do so

 

This does indeed seem to be fixed Vivid. Nautilus now has two options to
remember the credentials (till logout or forever), and both seem to do
what it says on the tin.

Title:
  Doesn't remember ftp password despite promising to do so

Status in GVFS:
  Fix Released
Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. In Nautilus, select Connect to Server
  2. Enter ftp server address, select FTP (with login) as type
  3. Enter credentials,
  4. select "Remember this password"
  5. Connect.
  6. Disconnect.
  7. Do steps 1.-2. again with the same server.

  What happens:
  The User name and Password fields remain empty. You have to enter your credentials again if you want to connect.

  What I expect to happen:
  For the Password field (at the very least) be automatically filled when I enter the associated user name. Better yet, remember and suggest (as default) both the User name and Password used previously.

  Alternatively, just use ~/.netrc if that's available and has the
  credentials (see Bug #963042).
