Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

When trying to access to a ftp server troughout nautilus (by using the username, password and server adress), the password isnt taken into account and Nautilus asks about it, and even there, when trying to enter the right password, nautilus keep asking for it again and again. The solution is to adress the ftp by the syntax "ftp://username@server" (without password) and then the password request is finally accepted
