[Bug 290703] Re: ssh connection should open the user directory by default

 

i see this issue in 10.04 LTS. I am trying to login to a yahoo
webhosting account. nautilus says "the file is not a directory" because
the root of the sever is inaccessible. The ubuntu client should go to
the home directory,  just like every other FTP client does.

all the bugs seemed to be marked as fixed, but they aren't.
who dropped the ball?
where should new info go? 
should we open a new bug?

Bug description:
  One can connect to SFTP server via creating SFTP bookmark in "Connect
  to server..." menu.

  If the user gives only the server name and the username the bookmark
  takes the user to the server root when logged in.

  SFTP should honour home folder setting and take user to the user's
  home folder if no folder is specified in the SFTP bookmark.

  Reproduce

  1. Chooce Connect to server...

  2. Put in any server where you have FTP account

  2. Login using bookmark

  expected result:

  You are in your remote folder

  Actual result:

  You are in server root / folder

  (This holds true for FTP shares as well).
