Unable to connect to a server through the UI.

[Mike]

When attempting to connect to a server using the "Connect to Server..." menu item in places, I get an error message. Two examples follow.

Can't display location "sftp://mowens@servername/mowens"
Can't display location "smb://DOMAIN;mowens@servername/mowens"

I can connect to the servers in question from the command line without a problem. This system was upgraded from Hoary to Dapper.

I've tried to connect to an FTP server as you described and it seems to be working fine.

Can you confirm if you still have this issue with the current release? If yes, is it just some particular protocols that are giving this error?

Similar problem here with a fresh installation of Dapper Drake from the Desktop CD. FTP and SSH work fine, only SMB does throws above error message. Furthermore, SMB does let me see the directories on the share after a connect but does not allow me to browse any further within Nautilus (again above message is been displayed).

That seems to be a problem with the lack of DFS support in the samba implementation. The folders in the share I see are links to other servers.

Does opening the location with "nautilus URI" works fine?

[Hartmut Seichter (hartmut-technotecture)]

Same result.

Ctrl-L > smb://server/Share/ works
Ctrl-L > smb://server/Share/LinkedFolder error

Couldn't find "smb://server/Share/LinkedFolder".
Please check the spelling and try again.

does "gnomevfs-ls smb://server/path" work fine?
