I notice that using ssh: instead of sftp: in the URL also works as John said.
Is this using the same mechanism as sftp or the same one as kio_fish?
That’s a good question. After reading http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-vfs-list/2004-May/msg00009.html I’m not sure at all. I’ve found no more recent mention, except that the pertinent GNOME bug was closed as WONTFIX: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117633 So I don’t know.
The reason I ask is that I'd like to put Ubuntu on my laptop that I use at Uni and the servers I connect to there are not running Linux and I know that kio_fish works.
If `sftp://` works for you, then that’s preferrable. I pointed out the difference mostly for the sake of pedantry. If `ssh://` is the same thing as `sftp://` and neither works, then you may want to read http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-... which, I believe, *is* a FiSH implementation, and is also completely program-transparent (ie it works regardless of whether you’re using a KDE or GNOME program or even just a good old command line tool.)
