I have this problem with GVFS 0.2.5-0ubuntu2 in both gvfs-mount and Nautilus. It seems to be due to an offending RSA key, as shown below:
When I logged in through the terminal with SSH, I got the following message: Warning: the RSA host key for 'XXXXXXXXX' differs from the key for the IP address 'XXXXXXXXX' Offending key for IP in /home/XXXXXXXXX/.ssh/known_hosts:8 Matching host key in /home/XXXXXXXXX/.ssh/known_hosts:25 Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes (everything went fine after this) To make GVFS work all I had to do was delete line 8 in my known_hosts file. In this situation, Nautilus/gvfs-mount should pop-up/print-out a message to the user, similar to what SSH does. -- Can't browse sftp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
