Created attachment 49926 [details] how it's displayed 1. Place a document to the ftp server 2. Open it with Libreoffice from ftp client (e.g. nautilus) 3. Wait until authentication dialog is displayed 4. Look at the credentials fields ER: username is editable AR: username is disabled, set default to anonymous thus making impossible to open the document from the secured ftp (e.g. corporate network) System setup: Fedora 15 Russian respin LibreOffice 3.3.3 OOO330m19 (Build:301) Ver: 3.3.3.1-2.fc15
It's the same problem with other applications?
(In reply to comment #1) > It's the same problem with other applications? you mean other libO applications, or ftp clients?
Other than Libo applications.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian
The same behaviour persist on Linux with master commit 95e95e0, fetched 2013-09-19. In my case, I passed an ftp: URL on the command line.
For me it looks like NOTABUG. If you want to login to the ftp server with another user, you should do it in nautilus right from the start. I can't understand why you log as one user using nautilus, and then suddenly want to change it. As for the command line - you should use 'ftp://user_name@ip_adress/document_name' syntax. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
@Maxim, Does that command-line syntax work for you when you are not "anonymous" on the FTP server? My machine with LibreOffice is off the net, so I cannot try it myself. FWIW, I was including my password in the FTP URL in the syntax "FTP://<user>:<password>@<host>". I mean th scheme to be in lower case, but my iPod is confident that it knows better than I do. Sigh. Terry.
(In reply to comment #11) > Does that command-line syntax work for you when you are not "anonymous" on > the FTP server? Hi Terry, Yes, it works for me with or without the password in the command line. Opening from nautilus also works. Tested with 4.1.3.2 & 4.2.0beta1 under Fedora 19 (64-bit). Feel free to reopen this bug, but only when you *actually* could reproduce it.
BTW in order to make ftp work with LibreOffice, you should also install the appropriate packages. - For --enable-gio builds (the builds in distro repositories is usually from that kind) make sure to have gvfs ftp backend. For Fedora it's in 'gvfs' package, for Ubuntu you should have 'gvfs-backends'+'libreoffice-gnome' packages. - For --enable-gnome-vfs builds (official builds from http://www.libreoffice.org/download, daily build) you need gnome-vfs2 libs. For Fedora it's 'gnome-vfs2'+'ORBit2'. For Ubuntu it's 'libgnomevfs2-extra'+'liborbit2'. If your DE isn't GNOME, you should also export 'OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome'.

Looks like LO handles ftp itself, not using GVFS\GNOME-VFS2.
