Use Composer to publish any file to an ftp publishing address. (File | Publish As brings up Publishing dialog.) If either required username or password is missing or incorrect, we get a call to nsIPrompt::alert notification with the message "Login incorrect", but no error codes in either nsIWebProgressListener::onStatusChange() or nsIWebProgressListener::onStateChange() For the latter, I would expect a non-zero "aStatus" param for the (STATE_STOP | STATE_IS_NETWORK) call that we use to know when an FTP transfer has finished. Note that after this error, the window caption now shows the remote URL because Composer thinks the FTP transfer has succeeded when it hasn't. Optimally, we should get a nsIWebProgressListener::onStatusChange() call with a unique aStatus value that tells us a login failed. If this were sent just before the nsIPrompt::alert() call, we could put up a different dialog letting the user correct the username and/or password and try to publish again. This is what I was hoping to do to fix the problem described in bug 124561 and bug 124480. But we need error codes to be able to let user fix username password errors. Mininally, the aStatus when calling nsIWebProgressListener::onStateChange() when the FTP is finished must have a non-zero value.

This bug is with the nsIWebProgressListener::onStateChange code. FTP does fire an OnStopRequest with a status. See: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/protocol/ftp/src/nsFtpConnectionThread.cpp#2311 Where we set the internal error: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/protocol/ftp/src/nsFtpConnectionThread.cpp#741 I do not think FTP is doing something wrong. Rick, what do I need to do to have the status pass through to the client's nsIWebProgressListener

This seems to be magically fixed in today's build. We now get the aStatus value = ACCESS_DENIED, so all is well. It is April Fools Day, after all :) I will let Doug and Adam confirm and close this bug.

This WFM in a trunk build from this afternoon. Gotta love wild goose chases on a Monday. :-)
