Kerberos/Heimdal support

[Simone Crippa <crippa kth se>]

Hi,

after some vain search I think I am at the point where a question on 
this nautilus list is appropriate.

I would like to be able to connect via "Connect to server" to a secure 
(heimdal, kerberos5) ftp server. As far as I could see, there is no way 
I can achieve this with Nautilus, as I didn't find a way to specify an 
own ftp client (e.g. krb5-ftp).
Can anyone here tell me if this is possible and I simply didn't search 
long enough?

If it isn't possible to specify a ftp client, then what about natively 
including this option in Nautilus? This would be something unique, as I 
also didn't find _any_ ftp client with GUI that supports 
kerberos/heimdal! (apart a single Mac OSX client)

Again, maybe this is already possible now (compiling Nautilus linked 
against the kerberos libraries), but then again, I didn't see any such 
option when configuring.

Please note that I am not subscribed to the mailing list!


Kind regards, Simone Crippa
