- Update : invalid bug 211748 seems to describe the same bug, however we
- doubt that this bug is invalid since listing files in nautilus does not
- work while it works perfectly with filezilla.
+ Update : invalid bug 211748 describes the same bug. This bug is caused
+ by FTP servers which hides files. A FTP client like FileZilla has
+ "Server / Force showing hidden files" option to show hidden files while
+ nautilus has "View / Show hidden files". We could probably expect it to
+ use the FTP standard "LIST -a" command to show hidden files when this
+ option is checked and to ignore errors from servers that does not
+ implement this correctly.

** Changed in: gvfs (Ubuntu)
