Title:
Misleading error when trying to ssh connect to a computer without the
service
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I was trying to connect to another computer using ssh/sftp in nautilus
in order to access its files. After typing the computer's address with
the protocol and clicking "connect" I was shown this error:
"Oops! Something went wrong. Don't have permission to access the
requested location."
It turned out I do not have the package openssh-server installed on
the other computer. At the begginning I was irritated because I was
sure it is a permission problem as the error stated. In my opinion
Nautilus should be able to recognise there is no ssh server installed
on the other computer and tell the user in the error what they should
do to fix the reason behind it.
OS: Ubuntu 14.10
GNOME nautilus 3.10.1
