Bug Description

In Ubuntu 12.10 the Connect to server -dialog of Nautilus had drop-down menu for selecting the connection type and textboxes for username, port etc.
In Ubuntu 13.04 there is only a textbox for host address. The only way to specify the options is to give ftp://user@host or similar string as an address.
This impairs usability when connecting to network shares.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
