Quick tip: connecting to a key restricted server with Nautilus

23. November 2017. Thursday

Nautilus, the file browser of GNOME is capable to connect to remote servers through the SCP protocol. Press Ugrás > Hely megadása (Ctrl+L), and you can type in the user and URL right away. This works flawlessly up until the remote server is protected with a password, or the private SSH key has the default name on our machine (id_rsa). This functionality will break as soon as the private key has a different filename.
