Title:
  Misleading error when trying to ssh connect to a computer without the
  service

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I was trying to connect to another computer using ssh/sftp in nautilus
  in order to access its files. After typing the computer's address with
  the protocol and clicking "connect" I was shown this error:

  "Oops! Something went wrong. Don't have permission to access the
  requested location."

  It turned out I do not have the package openssh-server installed on
  the other computer. At the begginning I was irritated because I was
  sure it is a permission problem as the error stated. In my opinion
  Nautilus should be able to recognise there is no ssh server installed
  on the other computer and tell the user in the error what they should
  do to fix the reason behind it.

  OS: Ubuntu 14.10
  GNOME nautilus 3.10.1
