[Thunar-dev] SCP Sessions and NFS Mounts

Discussion:

All,

I've just switched over to using XFCE with Thunar, but I really miss the
Nautilus feature of connecting to FTP, SCP or NFS mounts from a GUI. Are
there any plans to support these kind of features in thunar via something
like right-click action ? Or "shortcut" to enable this connectivity and
mount remote devices ?

Thanks,
B

In thunar >= 1.2.0 you can simply type things like "smb://MACHINE",
"sftp://USER at HOSTNAME/PATH/TO/A/FOLDER" and so on into the location bar
or dialog (press <Ctrl>l to get there).Depending on the distribution,
you may have to install additional gvfs packages like gvfs-smb or
gvfs-sftp
for this to work.

There is no support for remote bookmarks in thunar yet but we are working
on adding that. This feature may or may not make it into Xfce 4.10 (thunar

1.4.x). Until then you could try your luck with another app called
"gigolo".

Hmm, just gave this a try ..

gigolo starts nautilus , which then takes over my background and mangles my
desktop. It works, but it's not quite as seamless as it could be. I know
it's a bit of a tricky problem, but I think there are a number of people
who would love to see it !

Thanks,
Bryant

That's weird. Have you Thunar selected as default file manager in Xfce
Settings Manager => Preferred Applications => Utilities ?

which then takes over my background and mangles my desktop.

$ nautilus --no-desktop

Or maybe PCManFM[1]?
