GVFS FTP backend

["Benjamin Otte" <otte gnome org>]

Hey,

I've just merged my FTP backend work into gvfs trunk and intend to
heavily work on it until it works, so we can get one blocker fixed
[1]. I think at the end of this week or the beginning of next week it
should be in an "ok" state and not get frequent changes anymore.

Release and l10n teams agreed on IRC that a working ftp backend is
more important than any freezes, so I'm allowed to not care about
those until further notice. This means in partiular that gvfs will get
various ftp-related string changes during at least this week.

Another thing: If there is anyone using Nautilus for FTP and is
willing to help me test my backend, I would be very thankful.
Especially if this person knows it has to use "weird" FTP servers, so
we can ensure it also works properly on those. I myself only have real
access to 2 or 3 different FTP servers for testing. Plus I'm busy
ading features, so testing might come a bit short.
If you want to test, please get svn trunk of gvfs running and poke me
in GImpNet's #nautilus IRC channel.

Cheers,
Benjamin
