Integration of ssh file system to "CONNECT TO SERVER..."
SSH File System (sshfs) enables us to use a ssh server as a file system.
If sshfs is enabled, we can use commands such as cp, mv, mkdir, etc in console as well as scripting directly on remote server.
Although this has been implemented in Ubuntu 7.10, there were no graphical interface.
"Connect to server..." in Places of Menu bar supports browsing in nautilus.
Thus, we can browse a remoe SSH server. This is an awesome feature.
However, it doesn't support sshfs.
I propose that sshfs be integrated into "Connect to server...".
Actually, I didn't know sshfs at all for a long time but recently I became to know it. I guess many people don't know, neither.
People will know sshfs at the moment that they try to use "Connect to server..." and don't have to wast time to learn how to use sshfs.
Also, they will be very happy to use this feature.
