Hi,

I packaged the Sion apps for zenwalk.
Package is here : http://zenwalk.pinguix.com/user-accounts/bip/ISO/xap/sion/
I try to create a ftp connection but it is refused.
In fact for my ftp user account, I have a "@" so when sion try to connect to the ftp server, he saw two "@" in the ftp address and refuse the connection.
My login is something like that : username@zenwalk.org
So the full address that sion tries is ftp://username@zenwalk.org@ftp.zenwalk.com

I hope it is clear.
Keep me inform if you want more information.

Thanks in advance


Frédéric

I know this problem, I also have a FTP account whose username contains an @ character. But this is not a problem of Sion but of GVFS.

For instance, try on the command line:
gvfs-mount ftp://username@zenwalk.org@ftp.zenwalk.com

This is very similar to what Sion does and will fail with:
Error mounting location: Could not connect to host


So, please file a bug at GVFS about this.
Thanks.

I forgot to mention: as a workaround, just leave the username for the bookmark empty. Sion will then popup a dialog which asks you to enter the username and password. Connecting this way will work.
And when using gnome-keyring, the username and password are stored for future connections.

Thanks for the information and the workaround.
I'm going to try to write a bug report for GVFS.

Just for the records:

there is an easier workaround: instead of the literal @ sign in the username, just use "%40"  (without the quotes).

Future versions of Gigolo will do this automatically.
