Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 davidsarah]:

 -snip-
 >
 > Note that if you give an incorrect root URI as the password, the login
 will succeed but subsequent operations will fail. This is the same
 behaviour as when an incorrect root URI is given for the account in the
 {{{ftp.accounts}}} file. Perhaps the login should fail in both cases.

 It is a good behaviour to fail the soonest when some problem occurs. If
 login failed then it should be reported there and then and not at the next
 operation. So, I say Aye to the last sentance in the quoted comment.
