Public bug reported:

I've configured my ssh client(s) to use a port different from 22, in
order to avoid the large number of break-in attempts on the standard
port 22. That's the "Port" setting in /etc/ssh/ssh_config. I've also
configured my ssh servers (different machines) to use that port. That's
also "Port", in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. This works fine.

But now I'm trying to use nautilus to connect via sftp to my website,
using the address:

sftp://username@provider:22/path/to/www/data

The port 22, which is to be used, is provided. The configured new
default port is overridden by it. This works for the sftp command:

sftp sftp://username@provider:22/path/to/www/data

But it doesn't work with nautilus. I get this message (translated back
from German to English):

"The server has refused the connection. This usually is because of a
firewall denies access or the remote service isn't running."

But when I change the default port in /etc/ssh/ssh_config back to 22, it
works!

It looks like nautilus fails to regard the port, which is provided in
the URL (see above).
