           Summary: Problem accessing FTP URLs with any KDE application
                    (Konqueror, Krusader, Kate)
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: ovit.debian gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451383

When I try to access FTP with KDE the program connects OK, but when
trying to transfer any files (ie. "Save as" in Kate, "copy" with Krusader
or Konqueror, etc.) the program displays a window to enter username
(inactive field) and password again. The username is shortened, and part
of it is replaced with "...". To me this happens when I use cPanel hosted
FTP accounts, which feature usernames of "id my domain" form, so the entire
URL looks like "ftp://dl my domain ftp my domain", and the first @ is
automagically converted to "%40". The problem exists at least in this
version of the library (3.5.8.dfsg.1-4), if I force to use 3.5.7 from
backports.org it's OK, the only packages changed include this one and
kdelibs-data. The problem existed on 2 architectures (amd64 and i386).
