Not sure if this is a gnome or a gnome-vfs issue, however, I've noticed 
that FTP sites show the "unknown" icon for folders when using GnomeVFS. 
SSH still shows the appropriate folder icon though.

This is using gnome-vfs-2.16.2 on Gnome 2.16.0 (Fedora Core 6).

    
        
That looks strange, thanks for the bug report. Most probably it's the
issue with the gnome setup. Can you please send the following:

What mime type is reported by "gnomevfs-info ftp://someserver/somedir"?

What icon does it search for? You can find the name of the icon by
looking into strace log. You can attach to the nautilus process with the
command "strace -p <nautilus pid> 2> nautilus.log".

  
      
I investigated it a bit more and sent the following email to
gnome-vfs-list:

"Not sure if this is already known... but I'm experiencing some
problems with GnomeVFS over FTP connections. Folders are coming back
as application/octet-stream rather than x-folder/normal and thus the
icons in Nautilus are all the "unknown" icon rather than folder icons.

I'm using gnome-vfs-2.16.2 on Gnome 2.16.0 (Fedora Core 6)."

And running the command you gave (I didn't know about that command and
wrote a quick C program to get the info):
    

Well, if you can write small program, you can also step through
unix_ls_to_file_info function in ftp-method.c of gnome-vfs module and
find where does it really assign octet-stream. Probably it incorrectly
parses output from your server.


  
Possibly. I'd certainly want to learn. I know how to use gdb... i guess I would just need to build gnome-vfs from source using the -g option?
