Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

If a Unix host has an uppercase character in the name, Nautilus is unable to connect to it. For example, I have a PC named Ghandi. If I type ssh://Ghandi in the Go To field I get "Could not display "sftp://ghandi/"." Nautilus should not be converting the name to all lower-case.
