Hi All,
I have been using Gnome on my desktop and had many different server connections bookmarked in Nautilus file manager. That was a handy way to connect to servers of different types - ftp, ssh, scp-only etc. I didn't have to have different clients for different types of connections, everything was done in Nautilus.
Yesterday I have switched from Gnome to xfce. I love how my old desktop feels light and alive. I am trying to figure out a simple way to set up those server connections, but the Thunar file manager xfce uses does not have the "Connect to server..." functionality built in as Nautilus does. I am sure I am not the first person to deal with this. Searching does not produce anything useful. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Is there a way in xfce to have all types of server connections pre set in the file manager?
Thank you.
EDIT: My desktop - Ubuntu 9.04, xfce4
