Im having an issues where I cannot connect to an sftp/ssh server via nautilus/files during a VNC session. When I am standing at the terminal it works just fine! But over VNC I get an error stating "This file server type is not recognized." See here. But it also works if I use x11vnc and connect to display :0, but will not work on any other vnc server (tigervnc, vnc4server).
Steps to recreate the problem:
1. install fresh ubuntu 14.04 desktop
2. setup and connect via vnc
3. try to connect to sftp/ssh via ubuntu files/nautilus
How do I fix this?
