View remote SSH, FTP, and SFTP servers using Nautilus

http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t9.htm

  • Make sure the Nautilus Location Bar is open (see the section called "Open the Location Bar inNautilus").
  • In the Location Bar, enter the following:
    For SSH, use:
    ssh://username@ssh.server.com
    For FTP, use:
    ftp://username@ftp.server.com
    For SFTP, use:
    sftp://username@sftp.server.com
    Replace username with your username and replace everything after the @ symbol with the server's address. You will be prompted for a password if needed. If there is no username (anonymous) omit the username and the @ symbol.
    Alternatively, to specify your password manually, change one of the above like so:
    ftp://username:password@ftp.server.com
  • To access remote servers easily through Nautilus, add a permanent bookmark to the server by selecting Places->Connect to Server... and entering the details for the remote server.
