Topic: It doesn't work with gvfs

Good solution using clients such FileZilla. Congratulations! I needed a chroot solution using openssh+openldap...

I installed MySecureShell in a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit Server.
I'm testing it. Its works correctly using FileZilla client (from Ubuntu & Windows workstations).
But if I want to use lauchers using gvfs (in Ubuntu workstations) it doesn't work.

Desktop launcher example using nautilus (gnome & unity desktops):

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=My FileServer
Exec=nautilus sftp://fileserver.domain.tld
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/48/drive-removable-media.svg

The connection closes with unexpected error. No information about.

Desktop launcher example using pcmanfm (lxde desktop):
(I assume I will be the same problem but I couldn't try it yet)

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=My FileServer
Exec=pcmanfm sftp://fileserver.domain.tld
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/48/drive-removable-media.svg

Re: It doesn't work with gvfs

I've done more testing...

I think the problem is related with the userhome.

If the user has a home path like /home/myuser nautilus connect and mounts the userhome.

But if the home has a different path, for example, /home/teachers/myuser nautilus can't connect.

Hi,

I've try on Ubuntu 12.04 with:
- Nautilus command
- Menu "Connect to a server"

Both works smile

Re: It doesn't work with gvfs

You are rigth.

I had an error in my ssh server configuration.

I tried a lot of chroot solutions before finding MySecureShell.

None worked for my requirements.

Now, everything it works! Easy and wonderful.

Thanks!
