Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30039
Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Connect to Server: SSH asks user for target port and directory. Normal
end users don't usually know these.
The port is normally 22/tcp, and nautilus uses this automatically if it
is left empty. However, there is no way for user to know that it can be
left empty. Suggestion: have text "22" in the port field by default,
when the dialog is opened.
Directory to connect to is empty. If left empty, it will connect to root
directory "/". In many big systems, user home directories are not
directly under "/home/", but are separated to many directories. In
practice, this means that user must use command line "ssh" and "pwd"
first to find out his home directory before using "Connect to Server".
Suggestion: Connect to user home directory by default if the field is
left empty. Have small text under the directory field: "Defaults to your
home directory if left empty. "
