User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401 When using FTP servers that require a password, eg: ftp://user123@127.0.0.1 you are required to enter your password (assuming the account requires one). But you have to re-enter the password at each directory that you change to. So for example you login to your own ftp you would type ftp://wsbg@127.0.0.1 and you are given a prompt for your password. You enter the password and you can continue. You select a directory, but again you are asked for your password again. Indeed, it seems that every time you want to switch directories you are again asked for your password if the directory isn't cached. The problem can be fixed (a temporary fix) by using login:password@127.0.0.1 instead of just login@127.0.0.1, so wsbg:mypassword@127.0.0.1 would fix it, while wsbg@127.0.0.1 would exhibit the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.enter <YourLogin>@YourFTPServer.com (login name must have password defined) 2.enter password 3.try to change directory Actual Results: It asked me to enter my password seeming for every single directory that wasn't in my cache. Expected Results: Asked me for my password once, cache it in memory (not disk), and not ask for it again until I logout of the FTP server.
did you do a search for existing bugs? if you did, you might have missed it because it did not contain "password". I've changed the summary to make it more searchable, please let me know if it needs additional clarification. Please mark this bug verified if you agree that the two bugs describe the same problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80652 ***
