Hello,

after hours of searching I'm finally back where most of my problems have been solved in the past :D

My problem seems a simple one, but I can not figure it out alone. I need to connect my laptop via ssh to my workstation using Nautilus. Both computers running Gentoo, ssh is set up with public key authentication and works like a charm using the CLI. When I use Nautilus to connect I just get the this:
Code:
Nautilus cannot display "ssh://user@server.org:33/".
Please select another viewer and try again.
So I have no idea what this is about. During my search I found this problem many times but always the reason was ssh not working properly and this is not the case with me. I am very grateful for any hints.

Thanks.

KTA

can you connect via nautilus's "connect to server" menu option?

No, this is not working either. I tried the console to see if there is any output but
Code:
nautilus --browser ssh://user@server.org:33
shows none, only the popup with the old message.

Err, sometimes one overlooks so simple a thing as the correct location and permissions of the sftp command in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf...

SOLVED - Thanks for the effort...
