Re: Browse Network: FTP-Servers in local network are shown, but clicking on them only leads to "connection refused"

[Bazon Bloch <bazonbloch arcor de>]

Ah, thank you!

$ gvfs-mount ftp://servername

promts me to enter username and password and works then.

$ gvfs-ls -a "standard::target-uri" network:///

dnssd-domain-cookbook._sftp-ssh._tcp    0    (shortcut)    standard::target-uri=sftp://192.168.2.110:22/

("cookbook" is the servername. [it's my kitchen notebook. ;-)])

So I'm even more confused now, is my server ftp or sftp? (standard vsftp setup with "allow local users")

And, to get to my initial question again:

What can be done to connect to it via the "browse network" function in nautilus?

What is the output of: gvfs-ls -a "standard::target-uri" network:///
That should show what Nautilus is trying to connect to when you double
click on the ftp server.

It also looks like you're confusing SFTP and FTP to some degree.
gvfs-mount sftp://server tries to connect to an SFTP server so it's
not surprising that it fails.
