Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030309 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux After writing ftp://hostname in the addressbar in konqueror, a popup dialog appears asking for username and password. If I write the wrong username, and hence get a login failure and then click on "Retry", I get a new dialog box with the username "anonymous" prefilled into the username field, and I am unable to edit it.

Debugging for bug #56289, I've found this to happen as well. I could not find a way out. Anyways, this is a contention because, once a username has been accepted, the FTP server does not allow going back to an unauthenticated state without reconnection. It should, however, accept the change in username and, in case it does differ, disconnect and connect again for the new username.

Dawit, can you explain it? I remember seeing this problem too, and I don't see why (in the case of FTP at least), it shouldn't be possible to edit the login name.
Hello, Fixed and backported to the current stable version. Thanks for the report. Regards, Dawit A.

Yes, basically it was intended to prevent the user from changing the username if the URL (s)he entered was ftp://user@host. Fixed in CVS will backport to the stable branch. Regards, Dawit A.
