Bug Description

I have tried to use Nautilus to browse an FTP directory for my site, where I log in to ftp://mysite.com. The server successfully redirects other clients to ftp://mysite.com/accountID, as the site is on a shared hosting service, and so my site actually resides in a subdirectory on the server.

Nautilus fails to follow the redirect, and so is naturally denied access to the top-level directory outside my site's directory.

To illustrate the redirect , after logging in with 'ftp mysite.com' in a terminal, 'pwd' gives '257 "/accountID" is current directory.'
