All the systems I deal with uses UTF-8 for encoding text, including the FTP server. My FTP password contains non-ascii characters, specifically, the Latin accent ô. All clients I tried so far were able to successfully authenticate, including command line 'ftp' and Firefox, except Dolphin. Changing my password to a pure ASCII text solved the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to a FTP server you have access using non pure ASCII password. 2. Try to log in. Actual Results: Receive error message: "530 Login incorrect." Expected Results: Should login and enable me to use the FTP server.
I found out that typing the "^" key before the letter "o" to form the ô character will actually generate two characters in the text input box, possibly the two independent characters "^o" instead of correct ô. I.e. dead keys seems disabled for KDE password entry boxes. But this is *NOT* the cause of the bug reported here, because if I type the correct password elsewhere and paste it to the password input, it still won't work.
Thanks for the bug report. Reassigning to kio/sftp.
Can't reproduce the non-ASCII password issue using KDE SC 4.11 beta2.
This is not a kio_ftp specific issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 318151 ***
Can't login to ftp using Dolphin. Password is cyrillic strinc, doesn't contains any of accented letters. It can't be related on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318151
