Bug#521607: Fails to connect to a login site

[John Talbut]

I am having this same problem.  I had a similar problem which I reported 
at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532006 .  This was 
resolved by installing gvfs-backends.  However, the sites recently 
disappeared (again) from the folders pane.  I have been able to log back 
in to one site, which is in the form ftp://xxxxx@homepages.xxxxx.co.uk/. 
  When I try to log on to another site, which is in the form 
ftp://x12345-XXXX@www.xxxx.org.uk/ I get the message:
Could not display "ftp://x12345-XXXX@www.xxxx.org.uk/".
Nautilus cannot handle "ftp" locations.

I notice that something that appears to have changed, i.e. I have not 
noticed it before, is that in the Places view when Nautilus is logged on 
to a site there is an entry with an up arrow which closes the connection 
when it is clicked.
