'connect to server' with ssh folder option does not accept ~

[J Males]

Binary package hint: nautilus

If the 'Folder' field is left blank, you're dropped in root. This was confirmed on OS X 10.5, AIX 5.3.10 and RHEL 5.5. This may be expected behaviour; however, I was expecting the user's home directory. Regardless, specifying ~ leads to an error. A pop-up window with 'Count not find sftp://server/~" appears. If the protocol inhibits home access with the ~ character, a more helpful error would be appreciated.
