Trying to open an FTP server from the location menu seems to always fail. I can, for instance, create an entry for ftp.debian.org, and it will come back saying that the operation failed. However, I can open the folder through the icon on the desktop. I've seen this behavior with anonymous and private FTP accounts. SSH seems to work fine, and I haven't checked others.

I'd like to get rid of the server icons on the desktop, but this is a show stopper, as I cannot find a way to access the connections other than the location menu.

This bug also occurs in GNOME 2.12.
