Nautilus ate my customer's website

[Matthew Davidson]

Hi all,

Can't find a mention of anything like this in bugzilla, and I'm pretty
desperate for an answer.

I stumbled across Nautilus' capacity to "mount" ftp servers, and spent a
few minutes going "wow, this is cool" while working on a customer's
website.

Then I found that a file I was working on was truncated at exactly the
same spot every time I tried to upload it.

Odd, I thought, then "unmounted" the volume, and tried first lftp, then
gftp to upload the file.  In both programs, all of my customer's files
had apparently disappeared.  An empty directory.

In rising panic, I tried the website in a browser, and found everything
was still there.  Tried connecting with Nautilus again, and everything
was still there.  Still can't completely upload the file, but that is
now a minor problem compared to my customer's potential reaction next
time they FTP to their site, and find nothing there.

Now any guesses as to what's going on, or how to fix it?

Matthew.
