Few questions on Nautilus

KKnight · #1 14th November 2011, 10:47 AM

If anyone knows this, please be generous to share the knowledge:
1. Is there a way to use thumbnails when browsin SSH/FTP/SAMBA folders in Nautilus?
2. Can Nautilus remember remote server connections, so that I don't have to enter them manually upon each login to Gnome?

(I'm using Gnome 3.2 with F16).

Thank you everyone in advance!

1 is solved by myself, but 2 is still there. I can automate ssh connection as a command line session, but what about the entry in Nautilus?

You might want to store the once established connection or any folder of that connection as bookmark via the menu bar.

me and my friends' laptops (all using F15) are connected via SSH through wifi and at any moment / of any machine is accessible from others via nautilus. nautilus remembers remote server connections and logging in each time is not necessary.
we just did file > connect to server, then selected SSH from drop down menu, input username and pass (entries at /etc/hosts were already added) and check remember this password and after that added a bookmark for each laptop. voila!
not sure about other protocols though
