Since I have migrated to Ubuntu 14.04, I am unable to access sftp through Nautilus. If I enter sftp://user@sshserver in Nautilus (Ctrl+L), I get the following error message:

Sorry, could not display all the contents of "vmalep (sftp)": The specified location is not supported.

I'm very confused because it was working with the same server and with the previous version. I have the same problem accessing another ssh server laptop in the same LAN.

In order to have the sftp:// protocol handled by Nautilus you first need a virtual filesystem provided by the gvfs-backends package. Just install this package and retry:

sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends
