I'm trying to connect to my university's server through ssh
. In the terminal, I type ssh hostname
and it connects after a while (it does take some time, but it connects). I am not typing my username, for my username in the server is the same as in my local computer.
However, I am not able to connect to the server through Nautilus. If I go to "Other Locations" and try to connect to the server by typing sftp://hostname
(or sftp://user@hostname
, for the matter), the connection fails and I receive a warning stating "Unable to access location - Timed out when logging in".
Can I change Nautilus' login timeout limit? If so, how?
I am aware there are similar questions to this on the internet, and even on the website, but I was not able to use their suggestions to fix my problem. I know very little about ssh connection or how I can configure it.
ssh
connection should not take more than a few seconds time. You can usessh -v hostname
on command line (verbose mode) to figure out at which stage your ssh client is spending most of the time during session establishment, and try to resolve the problem.sftp -v user@hostname
from the command line?
