* Is this reproducible?

Yes. Every time I try to connect to any FTP server via Nautilus (in Ubuntu Lucid Beta) I am not allowed to connect. In fact, Nautilus doesn't even attempt to connect because the entire process of dialogs that previously (Ubuntu </=9.10) walked me through connecting to an FTP server has been changed and options like 'Public FTP' and 'FTP with Password' are no longer available. As I said:

Going to File > Connect to server only provides option for 'Custom Location'

I don't know if this is an intentional change in how Nautilus works or if this is some kind of mistake.

I'm having the same issue

This is the error I get:

Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I can confirm that using Lucid updated at of April 1st I am not having this problem. I'm not sure about before today. I do have a FTP and Public FTP available to me (as well as several other options) in Nautilus.

I wonder what is different in your environment that is keeping you from having those options?

Just did the latest updates for Lucid Beta 1. I also tried to delete what I think are my nautilus preferences. I also launched nautilus via sudo. Nautilus consistently only offers the useless 'Custom Connection' option when attempting to 'Connect to Server...'. I don't think it's related to my preferences.

I'm seeing the normal 'Public FTP' and 'FTP with Password' lists, but am unable to connect to any server receiving "Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) Please select another viewer and try again." error message.

gFTP works as intended though, so this is problem in nautilus end.

Experiencing the same (or perhaps similar) problem after upgrading to 10.04. Unable to connect at all, but connecting via ftp on the command line works perfectly.

Could not display "ftp://......@..................".
Error: Unexpected end of stream

I tried the 10.04 livedisc on my laptop and the FTP in Nautilus worked as expected, so I just backed up and reinstalled. There must be a bug in the upgrade process.

I can confirm that this is happening also in my computer.

Ubuntu 10.10
Gnome 2.32.0
Linux 2.6.35-28

This bug has been here for a long time...
Any help will be apreciated...

This started happening for me. Using Ubuntu 11.04. Everything worked fine after the update and used ftp and sftp connections all the time. It seemed to break after I installed the Thunar file manager but I can't confirm that was the cause for certain. "Connect to server " just has the custom location option. Existing bookmarks give the error "Nautilus cannot handle 'sftp' locations." Get the error "Natilus cannot handle 'network' locations when clicking on network." and "Nautilus cannot handle 'computer' locations." when clicking on the computer icon. It's like Nautilus doesn't know about anything except normal file locations.

I'd be happy to troubleshoot this as much as needed just tell me where to look.

I can confirm this with a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04.

However, I had backed up some files from my old home folder from an old ubuntu install (10.04?) and brought them back in after the fresh install, and whatever files that take care of remembering ftp locations was also a part of that because when I first connected through ftp to one of my servers, it worked fine, but later on I had changed my ftp password, after which a prompt would appear in nautilus to enter the new password to get into the site - at this point, FTP was no longer functional.

Is this still a problem in 13.10?

Closing due to age.
If a similar bug appears in 13.10 please open a new report.
