Documents cannot be opened in desktop UI on storage device

[chris gibbons]

in file explorer, using other locations, connect to server. if i put the in the address ftp://192.168.1.1 i can view the files, but when i try to open a file i get this error message.

This site can’t be reached The web page at file:///run/user/1000/gvfs/ftp:host=192.168.1.1/volume(sda1)/Linux%20Stuff/Linux%20stuff.txt might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

this problem is the same on my desktop machine and my laptop,
all as worked in the passed.
