Package:           konqueror
Version:           cvs 20010629 (using KDE 2.2.0 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot)
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc-2.96-93
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

Try:

 ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/pub/build/gcc/i386/20010707/summary.log

works fine w/commandline ftp client (or ncftpget "url"). konqueror says it needs a username and password. even if i give it "anonymous" + email-addr it still fails ("Login failed").

this is not a password protected site.

Using konqueror cvs 20010629 fails everytime.
Using ncftpget suceeds every time.
Site is not loaded with users.

Using direct connection.

No output. I'll have to rebuild it I guess. What needs to be rebuilt with 
debugging output on?

See above. Never a failure using ncftpget. Start 'em one right after the 
other.

Nope. Different. First time works OK. Try it again in the same window or try 
to go down to a subdir by selecting its icon and 1) first time get "timeout 
on ftp.netwinder.org" but 2) all subsequent times get "Error. Could not write 
to file.". Try a new konqueror window and it works the first time again. 
There's something state-dependent that is getting mucked up it looks like.

More detail. 

First time I click on the URL above in KMail:

1. Opening connection .... dialog box w/progress bar.
2. "Save to disk" "Open" "Cancel" dialog box. Select "Open".
3. Open with application.... dialog box. Select "Editors/text editor".
4. Opening connection .... dialog box w/progress bar.
5. User/password dialog. Enter anonymous/email-addr.
6. "Login failed.'

Click on same link in Kmail a second and subsequent times:

Skip straight to (3) above.

We skip the "Save" dialog box on all subsequent attempts to open. So I can't 
change my mind now about just saving it.

Stopping and restarting KMail has no effect. I have lost the ability to save 
this file to disk instead of opening it with an application *from* *KMail*.

However since I've been wanting to try this I started new Konqeror window 
pasted the full file URL in there and chose "Save to disk". Saves perfectly.

So looks like there may be more than one thing going on and the 
username/password problem only manifests when I have to pick an application 
to open the file with. Save to disk works fine doesn't ask me anything.

Now about those "Error. Could not write to file." dialogs... Write to WHAT? 
WTF is it trying to write to? And why do those only occur following the 
"timeout" which only occurs on the second attempt (and none thereafter) at 
the same ftp server from the same window?

Don't bother.  I already know the reason why but I do not know if there is much
that can be done besides forcing kio_ftp to close the connection after it does a
"stat" and presenting a more appropriate prompt to the user whenever login fails
for whatever reason...

This particular problem occurs because ftp.netwinder.org restricts all users (at least
all anonymous ones) to a single connection at a time!!  You can duplicate this using 
any two ftp clients.  Just simply attempt to login in with the second client without 
logging out from the first one and see the response you get.  

The reason why you get the password prompt in konuqeror is as David already explained 
the FTP protocol does not use unique status codes for different responses and as such 
kio_ftp does not know how to distinguish when it should or should not prompt for 
password!

Anyways the failure when you click from kmail occur for the same reason I mentioned
above.  That is two separate kio_ftp's are used to fullfil the request.  The first one 
attempts to "stat" the remote machine to find out what type of resource it is dealing with
(file directory file size) so it can properly decide what application to open it with.  However
when the "stat" completes sucessfully the connection is not closed and the scheduler thinks
that this io-slave is busy and attempts to open a new connection to the remote machine which
of course results in an error message because this particular machine does not allow more than
one connection at a time!  AFAICT all the other errors you mentioned also seem to stem from 
this issue since the second connection is not properly closed once the server returns an error 
refusing to connect.

It seesm it has nothing to do with the ftp io_slave. I see two ssh logins with
the fish io_slave too. I'v been trying to track the bug down it must be
somewhere in the copyjob. I first saw this when working on the fish io_slave and
doing the following.

fish://someuser@somehost/home/someuser
asks for login info i enter it without checking the save password. 
konq displays the directory.
Right click "Create New..." "Directory"
a second connection to the remote host is opened.

Works for me on KDE cvs-head.

Kind of fixed with the new KIO scheduler in trunk, although the number of allowed connections per server is not configurable and higher than one. See bug 64647 (which I'm not going to close for the time being) for that.

Is this really fixed? Still happening for me in KDE 4.4.3...

In 4.4.5 as well.

Please really fix this bug.
