How to connect to server as root in Nautilus?

Question

I want to know how I can access the following as root: Places>Connect to server

This is to connect to a server that needs a public key that I only have as root

Thanks

executing sudo nautilus lets me browse local files as root. not sure if it works in the case you're referring to

If I understand you correctly, go to Places -> Connect to Server -> Select:

Press connect

Now you should get prompted for a password for your RSA/DSA keys. Key in your password and voila! It connects!

	Have you tried it? As far as I know, on Debian Ubuntu you cannot connect via ssh as root. – natema Dec 4 '12 at 17:47
