Since Ubuntu turned to Unity desktop in Natty, the old “Connect to Server…” was moved to Nautilus file browser’s file menu. This simple tutorial will show you how to ssh, ftp, http access to remote server within Nautilus.

  1. In Trusty, Nautilus no long gives option in ‘Connect to server’ to specify type e.g. ssh & user/password. Any ideas?
