4.7.0.9 unable to show FTP listing if password contains #

Description

I am using version 4.6.1a in Fedora 6 (32-bit).
The ftpfs in MC won't enter any remote directory if the
password of the user contains a `#', and if this password
is in the ​ftp:// URL (i.e. ​ftp://user:#pass@host/dir).
When you try to enter a directory (pressing enter over
the dir), the pathname above the directory listing changes (adding new directory at the end) - but the listing remains the same.
If you would have MC to ask for the password (i.e.
​ftp://user@host/dir), this won't happen.

OK, maybe # isn't allowed in the password part of the
URLs - but if I login through Internet Explorer or Opera, there is no problem.
It appears that MC logs in fine but navigation doesn't work as
it should, and also the directory listing is wrong - it shows files as folders (see attached screen shot).

This issue remains unsolved up to version 4.7.0.9 - I did not check above versions.

I think it has nothing to do with FTP per se and it sounds just like if it was the same problem as with @ in the password field. VFS url parsing is broken.

So - the problem will be left unresolved, is that what you mean ? And the silent recommendation is to avoid "#" symbols in FTP password, or to use a real FTP client ? I can leave with that. It just makes me needlessly unhappy.

What I mean is what I mean: the origin of the problem is in the VFS layer and must be fixed in there. Don't needlessly venture into conspiracy theories and you will quickly realize how happier you are becoming.

I apologize if my words are rude or offense - English is not my primary language. I just read ticket 2361 and now understand the situation much better.
