Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sbackup

If one opens the Simple Backup Utility, and types an address in the form:
[ftp/ssh]://username@server/folder
When testing the connection, the utility will prompt the user for the password, and, if the password is correct, it will confirm that the directory is writable.

However, if one clicks the Backup Now button, an error is written to the terminal that the directory is not writable. The only way I was able to remedy this was to have the address in the form:
[ftp/ssh]://username:password@server/folder

Users should not be mislead into believing that they have successfully set up their backup utility.
Ubuntu 9.04, sbackup 0.10.5ubuntu2.
