I have the same issue. The right click menu Paste option is greyed out when connected to a remote SFTP server through Nautilus.

If I don't have files copied to my clipboard, the Paste option is greyed and cannot be clicked (when you hover on it there is no coloured selection bar).

If I do have files copied to my clipboard, the Paste option is still greyed out but it is possible to both hover over it and to click it.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
