In both cases, whatever is visible to you is dependent on the credentials used for login. That's why accessing a share should prompt a box asking whether to log in anonymously or with a username/pw combo/kerberos ticket. Well, having the kerberos ticket and issuing it right away cannot be that bad though, but in the case of anon versus user/pw, you need to provide the user with the box so he can choose. > > Most users have only one or two sites that they need to log on to, I don't > think they should have to be bothered by logon dialogs for every ftp > server they ever use. They should. Gnome keyring can alleviate the need for second and third prompts, but you cannot assume the user will only want to log in anonymously whenever it's possible. > Most ftp servers do not/should not support real > logons anyway.
