cannot connect via SSH using nautilus

Hello

I've Lenny and cannot connect via SSH using nautilus.
What can be wrong or is it a BUG?

No. It's a safety precaution. Install the ssh server package, Debian omits this by default. Some better (or more) use of search engines and a liberal dose of common sense will reduce the copious amounts of easy questions you ask.

ssh server package was already installed, I've reinstalled it, but it doesn't help.
BTW I don't have this problem on other machine with squeeze.

Describe the problem more in depth, saying "something is not working" doesnt help.

Try these:
Check the correct ip, port, user, password used by ssh. Connect to the ssh server from the command line to see if there is any error reported.
Launch Nautilus from a terminal and see if there is any output. Check if the file->connect to server menu item has the ssh option.

I've tried, but still doesn't work:

1.) ip, port, user, password are correct
2.) to connect to the ssh server from the command line or via gftp ssh works well
3.) no outputs if I launch Nautilus from a terminal
4.) file->connect to server menu item has the ssh option

I added in /etc/ssh/ssh_config the following entries:

Code:

TCPKeepAlive yes
ServerAliveInterval 120
Protocol 2,1

restarted and this problem seems to be solved now.

BTW I'm not allone, there are many postings about this problem in the internet...

Sorry, this problem still exists on other Lenny machines.

Just a first time connection works, perhaps will be better do not save passwords over nautilus.

I've tested with ubuntu 10.10 and squeeze, there seems to work well.

For me it's a BUG!
