It is curious that by typing from the command line:
Code: Select all
sshfs userid@hostname:/home/userid /media/hostname -o follow_symlinks
but typing into Firefox or directly into the Caja "Location" bar:
Code: Select all
sftp://userid@hostname/home/userid
Obviously the correct UID has been setup in /etc/passwd for the sshfs method to work.
So why does Caja not figure out the username to display with sftp?
Is sftp generally just not as good/reliable as sshfs for use in file browsers like Caja?
Copying small a amount of files seems to work OK with sftp, but maybe it has other disadvantages besides the username display issue that I have not yet discovered.
Any thoughts on the matter will be greatly appreciated.
