<h4>
How to mount a SSH/SFTP Server in Nautilus
</h4>
<p><span

"color: #424242;"
><b>
Introduction:
</b>
Servers that you
normally ssh into can be accessed through the Nautilus file manager.
This allows you browse your remote files, edit them and copy to and
from the remote server.
</span></p>
<p><span
style=
"color: #424242;"
><b>
Step 1:
</b>
Open Nautilus/Files
</span></p>
<p><span
style=
"text-align: center"
><img
alt=
""
src=
"/images/tips-tricks/screenshots/2017.01-nautilus-ssh-1.png"
/></span></p>
<p><span
style=
"color: #424242;"
><b>
Step 2:
</b>
In the location pane,
click on
<em>
Other Locations
</em>
.
</span></p>
<p><span

src=
"/images/tips-tricks/2017.01-nautilus-ssh-2.png"
/></span></p>
<p><span
style=
"color: #424242;"
><b>
Step 3:
</b>
At the bottom there is a
field to
<em>
Connect to Server
</em>
.
</span></p>
<p><span
style=
"text-align: center"
><img
alt=

src=
"/images/tips-tricks/screenshots/2017.01-nautilus-ssh-3.png"
/></span></p>
<p><span
style=
"color: #424242;"
><b>
Step 4:
</b>
In this field enter
<code>
ssh://
<
user
>
@
<
server
>
</code>
, where
<code>
<
user
>
</code>
is your username and
<code>
<
server
>
</code>
is the address of the server you are
connecting to. Replace
<code>
ssh
</code>
with
<code>
sftp
</code>
if you
wish to connect to a SFTP server.
</span></p>
<p><span
style=
"color: #424242;"
><b>
Step 5:
</b>
This will prompt you for
a password if necessary and mount the location. You will see the
server in the left panel and a listing of files on the right.
</span></p>
<p><span
style=
"color: #424242;"
><b>
Step 6:
</b>
If you wish to bookmark this server for future use,
right-click on the server in the location pane and select
<em>
Add Bookmark
</em></span></p>
