Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 124561

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

In Moz 1.7.2 cannot open ftp://sftp3corel.com to reach login and to upload.
Receive window, "530 login incorrect."  I've been told that Netscape 7.2 will
not open it either.  However, WinExpl 6 does open it and I've been told that Moz
1.8 alpha also opens it.  Perhaps that same fix could be made in 1.7.2?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy the address into the location field and hit enter.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
windows opens reading "530 login incorrect."  Of course, right now it says that
the site can't be found.  Obvously I'm at the mechanic's shop!

Expected Results:  
Produce a log-in popup in order to open the site for uploading

Using theme SkyPilot and the same occurs with Modern.  A Corel Wordperfec tech
checked it out with others and told me that the site will not open with Mozilla.
 Also have turned Popups on (and off).

This is probably the result of Bug 124561 being fixed. Now i wonder if this fix
should go in 1.7 branch (network people what do you think of this?).

URL: ftp://sftp3.corel.com/ is correct, comment #0 ftp://sftp3corel.com/ is
missing a dot.

guess I left the dot out of the address in the body; however, it is there in the
URL title.
