Re: [gftp] gFTP not connecting after OS upgrade

[Joe Polanik <jPolanik@cds.duke.edu>]

More information:

When I checked the box for use ssh-askpass utility I got an additional message:

(gnome-ssh-askpass:11045): Gtk-WARNING **: Can not open Input Method module file 
'/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules': No such file or directory
Permission denied, please try again.

This file does exist on the server with permissions of 644. Does gftp expect 
something else?

TIA for any help.
