Connecting to SSH or Samba server gives "The specified location is not mounted" error

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520390

I am also seeing this on Hardy alpha 5 and alpha 6. I use this feature all the time. As a work around I've been manually typing in the uri to connect to the server in nautilus. However, browsing a ssh share is extremely slow compared to a computer running Ubuntu 7.10 on the same network. I would say browsing network shares is unusable as it exists now.

I recommend giving this bug higher priority since browsing remote computers is a valuable feature that would limit adoption of the 8.04 release if this isn't fixed.

I'm not sure if this is related to the GVFS changes that just went in to the Gnome 2.22 release. Maybe the GVFS developers should be added to this bug?

why not just adding bookmark? about ssh being slow that could be similar to bug #201939. can you read and comment on this one?

I personally wouldn't want a bookmark for a one-time open of a remote location. I know that bookmarking is what we have to do as the momentary fix but we need this fixed upstream. If you look at the upstream activity (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520390), there has been some movement and some suggestions but no solution as of yet.
Having a 'Connect to server' function is nice but without it working without enabling the bookmarking option and then entering a name is quite counter-intuitive and a step back.

The bug has been fixed upstream now

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu3

I have same problem with "FTP (with logon)" or sth like that (I have polish translation, so I'm guessing)

Still having trouble with Nautilus and SSH; this afternoon I wanted to copy a new WordPress folder to my web server, 4 MB ... after a few KB's the process hung.

Confirming that this bug is fixed on the latest 20880422.1 ISOs.

I have Hardy release with nautilus 1.22.2-0ubuntu6 installed. I'm still unable use the 'Places' dialog box to connect to a shared directory running on a Windows Server (not Samba server). However, entering location works.

In current updated Ubuntu Hardy,

On connect to Windows Shares Server, an error box pops up that says "Can't display location...The specified location is not mounted." But whoops, there it was, right on the desktop, no problem showing the shares. Lucky, my settings are to show mounted deviices. Otherwise, I'd believe the message.

Thank goodness for Connect to Server. The Network icon in Places can't detect the Windows Share Server at all! But it does detect my Ubuntu PC in a separate "WORKGROUP". Using Configuration Editor to change the value of /System/smb to the same name as Windows Workgroup in order to join it, didn't change a thing.

For now I have bookmarked the location, and rely on that to get over to the Windows Share Server.
Thanks for your kind attention. If you know where to find the fix mentioned above, please point me to it.

I have same problem with sbackup width ssh connection

@Nech: this bug was closed 2 years ago and it's unlikely related to your issue. If still relevant, please file a new bug against sbackup. Don't forget to include some helpful information e.g. logs, how the bug exposes itself etc. Thanks.
