Comment 11 for bug 290703

Patrick I see your viewpoint, but there is little more depth in this issue.
As far as I know SFTP is recommended by Ubuntu as a secure method to put files to the server. It is very visible in the default setup of the system. Alternatives like FTP and WebDAV surely aren't better... so it is basically drawing a like what's Average Joe and what's not - I see remote copying of files as normal task which you might encounter in your studies and at least in your company work.

But this indeed does not matter. Hints how to solve this bug SFTP and GVFS are welcome. If it's just few simple lines I could probably patch it together.
