Connect to SSH server using Nautilus
Trying to connect to SSH
server using Ubuntu
file explorer. I have already connected to that server using SFTP
, but now I would like to do the same via SSH
.
By entering address and pressing connect because of unknown reason it connects to recent connection via SFTP
. Why not SSH
? How to fix it?
Did you read docs about Nautilus? There are examples of what should work. And from your tried, only this one is mentioned:
ssh://[email protected]/folder
but it is automatically rewritten in "recent servers" to:
sftp://[email protected]/folder
Basically, there is no ssh
file transfer protocol. SSH
is just Secure Shell or secure channel to pass data. If you want to transfer files, you need to use something built upon it. And sftp
is the most commonly used protocol for doing so. The only more common is scp
and it is too limited for remote filesystem mounts.
